Keep steering tight and the front suspension planted with the MOOG ball joint K500286, a front lower suspension ball joint built for the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, the 2011-2018 RAM 1500, and the 2019-2023 RAM 1500 CLASSIC. Cataloged under both the MOOG and QuickSteer names, it's designed for OE fit and function, so it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment straightforward. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. If a worn front lower ball joint is behind loose steering, clunking over bumps or when turning, or uneven tire wear, this replacement helps restore vehicle handling.
Does this MOOG ball joint fit my 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500?
It's a front lower ball joint for the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011-2018 RAM 1500, and 2019-2023 RAM 1500 CLASSIC. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact engine and configuration for your truck.
Is this an upper or lower ball joint?
K500286 is cataloged as a front lower suspension ball joint. It is not an upper unit. Confirm the position needed for your vehicle before ordering.
Is this ball joint greaseable?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket, so you can push in new lubricant to flush out contaminants and help reduce corrosion and wear over service intervals.
What are signs my front lower ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include loose or wandering steering, clunking over bumps or when turning, and uneven front tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, since other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
Is this the same as a QuickSteer K500286?
This part is cataloged under both the MOOG and QuickSteer names with the same K500286 number, so you may see it listed either way.
