Replace just the worn bushing instead of the entire front track bar assembly with the Dorman OE Solutions Track Bar Bushing, part number 540-788. It fits several Ram and Dodge Ram trucks, among them the 2011-2022 Ram 4500, 2011-2022 Ram 5500 and 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The track bar keeps the axle located side to side under the truck, and its bushings cushion the joints where the bar mounts. When a bushing wears out, this front suspension track bar bushing lets you renew that joint without buying a whole new bar.
- Save time and money: Dealers often call for a complete track bar assembly when a bushing fails. This low-cost option lets you replace only the failed bushings.
- Helps address clunking: If worn track bar bushings are causing a clunk, replacing them is designed to help reduce that noise.
- Direct replacement: Built as a direct replacement for the original equipment bushing.
- Try-on tested: The part has gone through extensive vehicle try-on testing for strength, fitment and longevity.
Signs the bushings may need replacing include clunking, a loose or wandering feel, and visible wear or play at the track bar mounts. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before you replace parts.
