A worn suspension ball joint can show up as a clunk over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven front tire wear. Before you replace it, rule out worn tie rod ends, control arm bushings and wheel bearings, which can cause similar noise or play. Replace the ball joints on both sides together, since this listing is a single joint. These vehicles take two, one on each side of the axle.
This direct-fit replacement also fits the 2011 Ram Dakota and the 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider.
