Title: 2006 dodge 2500 front ends
Post by: Da stump on March 24, 2009, 11:49:14 AM: I was informed that the ball joints on my dodge are starting to get worn. Does anyone know if they have a beefed up version for replacement? I do a little off road and the only real abuse the truck gets is when Teacherman gets ahold of it. :dunno:

i worked for a dodge dealer service dept and never had to replace a set that i can think of...who told you they were loose? reputable source?

A mechanic that does my families repairs and has treated me well told me about it. I've got about 40 some thousand on the rig. Love the truck too. Has the Hemi in it.
