Tech Note 3: Details
The Stud on the Upper Ball Joint will move in and out about 5/16" so it may look like your new Ball Joint and old Ball Joint have different length studs. See Tech Page on Ball Joint Issues before ordering.

Tech Note 4: Optional Kits
Optional Ball Joint Kits are available for your Dodge Ram 4x4. For the ultimate in strength and durability, see TK42058 Dynatrac Greaseable AND Rebuildable Ball Joint Set. For a greaseable Ball Joint Set, see QK4850.

Tech Note 5: Before Removing
The first time an AAM axle has to come apart, it is usually an absolute WITCH to separate the wheel hub assemblies from the steering knuckle as AAM did not use any anticorrosion compound between the wheel hub flange and steering knuckle. I strongly suggest you get my color illustrated, step by step 6 page Tech Service Bulletin TSB4586 4x4 Dodge Truck Ball Joint Service 9.25 Axle so you know what you are getting into. Almost all the wheel hubs we sell for these AAM axles are to replace original hubs wrecked by slam bang disassembly methods. The good news is, if you properly reassemble your axle, the next time you need to take the hubs off, they will come right off with no trouble at all.

Tech Note 6: Removing
Unlike older trucks, AAM 9-1/4" Dodge Ram front axle ball joints are pressed into the axle itself, not the steering knuckle, so you can't use a shop press like the 94-99 trucks. I Strongly recommend you have the TS1082 Ball Joint Press Set when removing your old ball joints and pressing the new ones in
