I just joined the forum today and wanted to say hello to everyone. I live here in San Diego and am the proud owner of a 2005 Ram 2500 with the diesel. I am have a few issues with it now and hoping that your expertise will help me out.
Took my truck in to get yet another alignment done and I was told that I need the steering up-grade and upper ball joints. The truck right now will not align, pulls to the right. Can I get some advice on this issue?
The Mopar Steering Upgrade Kit for the Dodge Ram comes with tie-rod, drag link, and latest pitman arm. You also need to get a steering damper. The upper ball joint comes preassembled in a new upper control arm. Replacing all of this should take you about 1.5 hrs per side if you are of average mechanical ability. Then you should be able to get your alignment. Did they check your brakes too? That can also cause your truck to pull to one side.
