Upper front ball joint
I started to hear a clicking noise going over small twigs and bumps. After inspecting it I found there to be a little slop in the upper ball joint on my passenger side. I have not replaced any of these and I'm in an 03 5.9L. The guys at the part store said that I had to replace the entire control arm as the ball joints themselves were not replaceable. To me this does not sound right, plus the entire thing was $112. When a ball joint was around $30.

I have replaced them on my '04 a couple times. Didn't have to replace control arm though.

If it is a 2x4 then you have to do control arm and BJ. 4x4's are just the ball joint.

Ball joints are available for the 2x4 but are a pain to press out and in! Easy to replace the entire upper A arm! I just hate that they use a cast aluminum A arm looks and feels cheap but I have over 100k on mine and they are still good! I got the entire set from Ebay that's upper A arms and lower ball joints!

It's a 2x4 so it looks like I'll be getting the sets on ebay. Thanks guys.
|
do you remember the specific kit you ordered?
|
No just put in dodge ram 2500 2x4 ball joint kit
