Hi, I have a 2001 ram 1500 4x4 with the off road package, I need to replace the steering knuckle among other things, I found a 96 ram 1500 4x4, are they interchangeable? they look similar but different. any help would be great.

 

Knuckles should be the same.

 

are you sure? i thought the 2000-2001 might be slightly different, due to dual piston calipers.

 

Oh, good point. I don't recall if the caliper brackets bolt on, or are part of the knuckle.

 

caliper brackets do bolt on. big heavy double L shaped brackets. big *** bolts torqued to about 150 pounds that require a big heavy *** long pull bar to remove.

 

Is that on both flavors? Is it possible to use the dual piston brackets on the older knuckles?

 

i don't know. my only experience is on my 01.

 

nope. doesn't quite fit..has hard stops for the caliper. anyone need a 96 steering knuckle and caliper..?

 

Did you fix the problem you were having? And what was it to begin with? Just curious.

 

No I still need to replace the knuckle, I had a small accident. broke the lower ball joint mount on mine. along with the steering gear and a few other things.
