As a front lower suspension ball joint, MK8607T links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel while the wheel steers. Clunking over the road, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can be signs a worn ball joint may need replacing; if a failed ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually.

It is a front lower ball joint for the listed applications.
Does the MK8607T work for a Ram 2500 ball joint replacement?

Does it include a grease fitting and locking nut?
Yes — it comes with a 180-degree SAE grease fitting and a part-specific locking nut to help speed installation.
What are signs my ball joint may need replacing?
Clunking 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 ball joints in pairs?
Ball joints on an axle wear at similar rates, so many shops recommend inspecting and replacing both sides together for balanced handling. This listing is for one ball joint.
