Is dodge still using sealed componants...ball joints and u joints on thier yucks?.. pun intended..

06 2500 Ram owner looking to go 2015 ram 2500 but dont want to rebuild the 2015 front suspension on or off warrenty.

Last sales person had no clue what a u joint is...

 

The entire industry has just about gone to zirc-less fittings. I'm seeing no zirc tie rod ends, ball joints, etc. on ford, gm, yota and nissan trucks...

nice thing about the '13+ Ram 3500 and '14+2500 front ends are they basically copied Fords three link design. No more pivot points and the drag link angle is drastically reduced. Components should dramatically outlast previous Y style front end which promoted bump steer and premature front end component wear...

 

I do like new style strearing and suspension....

Perhaps I need to let my rebuilt front end go...with greasesble componants in order to move on..

But I still see so much of the same issues in new HD Rams...them stupid ruber door strips covering the door seams..

Mine are rotted out...but dodge is the only full size with a 6sp man...but no gas engine..

CTD

I just know a car with a box auto is not going to make me happy...

Thanks for your help.

 

With the carry-over from ford's three link design going to '13+ Ram 3500 mean the '14 Ram 3500 is included? Or am I reading this wrong?

 

Yes, all 2013 and newer 3500 and all 2014 and newer 2500 are 3 link, coil front ends. 2014 and newer 2500s also are 5 link coil rears.

 

Thanks Hammer and thanks for the other favor.

 

I heard they started using sealed non sealed ball bags for 2500 dollars to 4x4 Dodge ram company cuz there are cheap form oh 6 to two thousand and oh3 for the ball u joints kit
