The Mevotech TTX ball joint (P/N: TXK80605) is a front lower ball joint that links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel pivot for steering while the suspension travels. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota, 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider, and 2011 Ram Dakota — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details. Engineered for high-usage commercial and passenger trucks, SUVs and fleets, this TTX unit is built for extreme-duty performance.
- Maximum toughness: patented sintered bearings for longer-lasting service.
- Superior seal: Integri-Boot™ design built into the assembly helps lock out moisture and contaminants.
- Serviceable: includes a 90-degree SAE grease fitting for easy greasing.
- Easy installation: secures with the part-specific slotted castle nut and snap cotter pin provided, plus pre-applied nylok thread adhesive and knurling for a snug, vibration-resistant fit.
If a worn ball joint is behind clunking over bumps, loose steering, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it. An application-specific ball stud with a larger sphere is paired with a thicker, stronger flange that helps resist deformation during installation. A solid fit for 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota ball joint replacement jobs.
