Description

Shopping for a Dodge Ram 2500 ball joint that can survive a beating? The Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint (BJ81186RD) is a severe-duty front upper replacement from the company's RD "rugged duty" chassis line, engineered to match the OE fit on the listed applications. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 2500, 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 3500, 1995-1999 Dodge Ram 4000, and the 1994-1996 and 1999 Dodge Ramcharger — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.

Rugged-duty 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 hardware is supplied and also carries a corrosion-resistant coating.
Pre-loaded with grease: where applicable, each joint is packed with premium grease in a specially designed grease boot with molded-in standoffs to help keep lubrication where it belongs.
Built for tough service: engineered for off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other demanding commercial or emergency-vehicle applications.

Backed by Dorman's U.S.-based chassis engineering team and more than a century of automotive experience, this front upper ball joint is a strong choice for replacing failed original equipment on the specified trucks. If a worn ball joint is behind your clunking, loose steering or uneven tire wear, replacing it helps restore a solid, properly located suspension connection.
