HI went to a tire shop today to put new winter tires on my 2009 4x4 5.7 they show me that my 2 tie rod end have to be replaced VERY used.at 13 k it is not supposed to be,i use the truck very easy,anyone with that problem.thank

 

Go to dealer, I think there is a recall...unless it was the balljoint I goy replaced. Can't remember, I always tell them to replace anything they find that is of no charge to me.dario

 

all i know is all i have been hearing is that the tierods are the weakest link in all the 4th gen rams. apparently is the first thing to go after leveling and lifting.

 

i just had the same thing happen to me....installed a 2.5" spacer to level my 2wd and guy tells me he can't align the truck cause the tie rods are shot......31,000 miles and yep they were done.....took the truck to Dodge and they are replacing the tie rods and aligning the truck for me all under warranty......

 

I had my tie rods changed at 22,000 miles.

 

dealer put new one on mine this morning at 13k.

 

Something about installed wrong I think I read somewhere?

 

I thought that only the 2500-3500's were the ones that had tie rod problems?

 

Oh nice. Was this a recall or an RTT or something? I don't remember seeing it. If not, it sounds like it should be.

 

You guys who are NOT getting them replaced under warranty, do yourselves a favor and get an after-market one that is GREASEABLE. Something like a Moog. It will last you much longer than the stocker. Especially if you are running 33" or larger tires.
This crap with using non-greaseable components started in the 3rd Gen days, thanks to Daimler (Mercedes) and is nothing more than a way to generate an extra buck (many of them, actually) by having to replace the component instead of simply lubricating it...

These are the ones I just put on mine. Notice they are greaseable...
