Excessive vertical play in new Dodge RAM front lower ball-joints
We have ordered two sets of Chrysler CHY74000760 and CHY74000451 Upper and Lower Ball Joints from RockAuto.
After mounting the ball-joints on this truck (2004 DODGE RAM 3500 PICKUP 5.9L L6 DIESEL Turbocharged) we discovered a serious noise coming from the front end when going over road bumps and creases.
Checking it in service we found a lot of axial (up and down) play in the new ball-joints we just installed on this truck. Questions:
1. is this normal for this type of ball-joints - how much vertical play is ok in this case?
2. have you experienced any similar behavior for these parts by now?
3. what is the recommended action/things to check in this case?
Looking forward to your reply.
