Mevotech TTX Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TXK80014
Keep your steering tight and your front suspension properly located with the Mevotech TTX Suspension Ball Joint (TXK80605), a front lower ball joint built for high-usage commercial and passenger trucks, SUVs and fleets. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota, 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider and 2011 Ram Dakota — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
The TTX line is engineered with heavy-duty technology and Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware that make installation faster and easier.
Worn ball joints may show clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear; if a failed front lower ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.

Where does this ball joint mount?
The catalog lists TXK80605 as a front lower ball joint, connecting the lower control arm to the steering knuckle and allowing the suspension to pivot and articulate.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes. It includes a part-specific slotted castle nut, a snap cotter pin, and a 90-degree SAE grease fitting, with pre-applied nylok thread adhesive on the fasteners.
What are signs a ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed, since these symptoms can come from other suspension parts.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Ball joints wear at similar rates, so replacing the matching side at the same time is a common best practice for balanced handling. This listing is for the components described.
