Keep your truck's steering tight and its suspension articulating smoothly with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint 539-950. This pivoting joint links the control arm to the steering knuckle, giving the wheel a pivot point as it steers and travels over the road. It drops in as a direct replacement that fits and performs like the original on the listed trucks: 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500, 2005-2010 Dodge Ram 4000, plus 2011-2025 Ram 2500 and 3500 and 2011-2024 Ram 4000 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- Durable construction: built with a steel housing, polymer bearing, and a polychloroprene dust boot.
- Reliable fit: precision-engineered to match the original components' design and dimensions on the listed applications.
- Cost-saving repair: replaces just the failed ball joint rather than the entire assembly.
- Ready to install: ships with a mounting nut and dust boot; a ball joint press tool is typically required for the press-in installation.
The tapered, threaded stud and non-greaseable design (no grease fitting) follow the factory setup. Clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can be signs the original joint may need replacing — diagnose the cause before ordering. Sold individually; the listed applications use two, so order 2 for a complete side-to-side replacement. Country of origin: Thailand. Manufacturer part number 539-950.
