I have a 2004.5 Ram 2500 CTD 600 quad cab black on black and bad ***!

I can not seem to locate corresponding information on the front upper and lower ball joint situation! Mine are shot and I have to replace them at 77,000 miles. I do all my own work with the aid of service manuals. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems Moog ball joints are the way to go. If you have a good source for buying them I'd appreciate it. Also, who has the best service manual out there for the Ram! And lastly, I've been told that the outer axle seals should be replaced, again, can't find them available other than going straight to Dodge.

Thanks,

Swede

 

Swede,
Same truck as you but with 90k on the ticker. Just got the big "R" at inspection time. I as well would like to find out about the replacement with Moog. Interested to learn what you find out.

 

Sorry to say haven't learned much so far! What I will do when I have everything together is write up a tech article though.

 

If there are issues with posting names of companies or websites on the forum, you can send any info to me as a private message instead!

Thanks.

 

Try www.rockauto.com for the ball joints and seals as for a decent manual go to www.genosgarage.com they have complete ram service manual on a CD or in old fashion book form.

 

Splat,

Thanks, that was what I wanted and the prices are best I've seen so far.
