Keep steering tight and the front suspension properly located with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint BJ81106RD, a front upper ball joint from Dorman's severe-duty RD line. It installs as a direct replacement designed to match the fit of the OE design on the 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011-2018 Ram 1500, and 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic.
Rugged-duty design: the RD ("rugged duty") line is engineered for hard-working trucks used in off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other demanding commercial and emergency-service applications.
Durable construction: the housing is made of quenched and tempered steel rather than simple normalized steel and finished with an exclusive protective coating for added durability and corrosion resistance.
Hardware included: the necessary mounting hardware is included and also carries a corrosion-resistant coating.
Ready to install: where applicable, the joint is pre-loaded with premium grease in specially designed grease boots with molded-in standoffs to help keep lubrication in place.
A ball joint is the pivoting connection between the steering knuckle and the control arm, letting the wheel steer and travel while staying located. Clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can be signs a worn ball joint may need replacing; diagnose the cause first. Backed by a Dorman chassis engineering and manufacturing team in the United States.
It's a direct replacement for the 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011-2018 Ram 1500, and 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your truck.
