Keep your work truck rolling with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint (BJ81116RD) — a severe-duty front upper Ram 2500 ball joint from Dorman's RD ("rugged duty") chassis line. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2010 DODGE RAM 2500 and RAM 3500, 2005-2010 DODGE RAM 4000, 2006-2008 DODGE RAM 1500, 2011-2025 RAM 2500 and RAM 3500, and 2011-2024 RAM 4000; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
A ball joint is a pivoting connection in the front suspension that lets the control arm and steering knuckle move together while the wheel steers and travels over the road. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — diagnose the cause before replacing.
- Severe-duty RD ("rugged duty") design: engineered for vehicles used in off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other demanding commercial applications, and suited to emergency vehicles that need maximum reliability.
- Quenched and tempered steel housing: stronger than simple normalized steel and finished with an exclusive protective coating for improved durability and corrosion resistance.
- Necessary hardware included: the included mounting hardware also carries a corrosion-resistant coating.
- Pre-lubricated where applicable: joints are pre-loaded with premium grease in specially designed grease boots with molded-in standoffs to help keep lubrication in place.
Designed to match the fit of the OE design on the listed severe-duty applications and engineered for improved durability. Backed by Dorman's chassis engineering and manufacturing team in the United States.
