Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint P/N:B6477RD
Keep your front suspension tight and your steering responsive with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Ball Joint BJ82495RD, a severe-duty Dodge Ram 1500 ball joint from Dorman's rugged-duty (RD) chassis line. This front lower ball joint installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011-2018 Ram 1500, and 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic, connecting the lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the suspension can travel and steer.
A worn Ram 1500 lower ball joint can cause clunking over bumps, loose steering, and uneven tire wear; if a failed ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Does this ball joint fit a 2014 Ram 1500?
Yes. The BJ82495RD front lower ball joint is a direct-fit replacement for 2011-2018 Ram 1500 trucks, so it covers 2014 Ram 1500 ball joints. Confirm your specifics in the Buyer's Guide tab.
What does the RD designation mean?
RD stands for "rugged duty." Dorman engineers this line for severe-duty service such as off-road work, heavy hauling, towing, and emergency-vehicle applications.
Is mounting hardware included?
Yes. The necessary hardware is included and is also finished with a corrosion-resistant coating.
What are signs my ball joint may need replacing?
Clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can point to a worn ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Front lower ball joints tend to wear as a pair, so replacing the left and right sides together is good practice for balanced, even suspension wear.
