Replace a worn Ram 1500 upper control arm with the Dorman - OE Solutions Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly CB81227RD, a front left upper unit from Dorman's RD "rugged duty" chassis line built for severe-duty service. It's designed to match the fit of the OE design and drops in on the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, the 2011-2018 Ram 1500, and the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic. Engineered for off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other demanding commercial use, it pairs a steel arm with a pre-installed ball joint.

  • Rugged-duty design: engineered specifically for severe-duty service applications where readiness for duty is required.
  • Quenched-and-tempered steel housing: the ball joint housing uses quenched and tempered steel with an exclusive protective coating for added durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Hardware included: the necessary mounting hardware ships in the box and is also finished with a corrosion-resistant coating.
  • Pre-loaded joint: where applicable, each joint is pre-loaded with premium grease in specially designed boots with molded-in standoffs to help keep lubrication in place.

This control arm and ball joint assembly is made to replace damaged or failed original equipment on the specified vehicles. Signs a Dodge Ram 1500 control arm or its ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps or on acceleration, uneven tire wear, and loose or wandering steering. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Dorman control arm fit my Ram 1500?

It fits the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, the 2011-2018 Ram 1500, and the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic in the front left upper position. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

Is this an upper or lower control arm?

This is a front left (driver-side) upper unit. It is not a Ram 1500 lower control arm, so confirm you need the upper position before ordering.

Is mounting hardware included?

Yes. The necessary hardware is included in the box and features a corrosion-resistant coating, just like the ball joint housing.

What makes the RD "rugged duty" line different?

The RD line is engineered for severe-duty service such as off-road work, heavy hauling and towing. Its ball joint housing uses quenched and tempered steel with an exclusive protective coating.

What are signs my Ram 1500 control arm needs replacing?

Clunking over bumps or on acceleration, uneven tire wear, loose or wandering steering, and cracked or torn ball joint boots are signs the control arm or ball joint may need attention. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
