Description
If you're the owner of a Dodge Cummins and haven't changed your ball joints, you either don't have any miles on the truck, or you're the luckiest Dodge owner on the face of the Earth. At DPP, we're all Dodge owners and are all VERY well aware of the front end issues with these trucks, but we've also found the permanent fixes. One of the key ingredients to the equation are upgrading the ball joints, and Dynatrac has just that. Even the first impression when seeing the girth of these is impressive. But then after years of service and NOT having to replace worn out ball joints, that's what is really impressive. Whether your truck is a pavement pounder, or used for hard core off-road use, these ball joints WILL stand the test of time. Now available in a knurled design! For those that aren't aware of what a knurled ball joint is, many of the aftermarket ball joint suppliers use "knurls" on the body of the ball joint to ensure they fit tight into the knuckle, as opposed to having exacting tolerances, such as Dynatrac. Unfortunately, if you've ever installed a set of knurled joints, you'll forever have to run knurled joints, hence why Dynatrac offers these. You DO NOT want to install the Dynatrac knurled ball joints if you don't need to, thus, if you're not currently running knurled ball joints, we highly recommend you purchase the STANDARD DYNATRAC'S.

OPTIONAL INSTALLATION TOOL:
  • No, this isn't some fancy pheumatic tool. Rather, its basically a set of washers that are designed to fit over the ball joint caps without damaging the cap or the zerk fitting and allow you to use a standard press when installing the ball joint into the knuckles. Sounds simple enough, but it works and we'd highly recommend adding it if you don't already have something comparable.

Dynatrac ProSteer HD Upper and Lower Ball Joint Set 2012 Ram 2500 4WD

"the box of parts I received appeared to be a return as it was covered in box tape, some of the packing material inside the box was missing and torn and a 1 winged washer from the top of a lower joint was missing. I contacted DynaTrac and was charged and additional $18 to purchase and ship 1 washer. Customer service at DynaTrac was abysmal and required 4 phone calls to get a solution that cost me $18 to resolve a "BRAND NEW PART" issue. I would never rebuild these when they go bad. They are not manufactured with a hex end of the shaft (OEM DOES HAVE THE HEX) so getting them off the lower nut without damage to the ball joint shaft would be difficult and rebuild kits do not replace the ball shaft. Next, the lower joint needs a pin grease fitting that would be extremely hard to get to and grease with the driveshaft in place. When . . . and I guarantee they will wear out I will definitely go with Carli. And to boot, they are asking if I want to purchase a warranty for them. . . NEVER !"

"Great product, been running with these for a year now and they’re still as good as when I put them in. I initially ordered standard ones and found when I removed the old ones the previous ones were knurled. I called DPP and they were very helpful and quickly sent me the knurled ones. Happy with my purchase and theyre customer service"

not satisfied.

"I've been a Mechanic for over 25 years. The install was easy. But the Ball joints are making snapping noise when turning. I was told that the knuckles should be real stiff after installation and that they should wear in after 500 miles. They were not stiff at all. I called Dynatrac and the tech said that they had to ease up on the tolerances because they were getting complaints about the stiffness. I paid over seven hundred dollars for these. . . Not happy!"

Q&A

Will it fit 2012 4x4 dually?
A 3500 Dually only, it may not fit on the 4500/5500 applications. Most of those trucks use a different axle in the front. -Sands
I have a 2003 dodge ram 2500 cummins with 245k on it. Only have had for about 30k miles. Not sure if it has knurled ball joints or not and need to do them asap. Would you buy smooth body or knurled?
Hard to say for sure. If you need to be 100% covered, no if's-ands-or-buts, I would go knurled. Just remember, if you go knurled, should you ever need to replace the ball joint, you MUST put a knurled back in. -Ben
if i buy standards and it ends up needing knurled can i return the standards and get the knurled sent? (obviously pay the difference in price as well)
As long as the standards come back new in box with hardware and instructions included and no greasy fingerprints all over everything yes we can do that. DppSands
I have a 08 2500 Ram 6.7. Do the smooth ball joints meet factory spec or are they over sized and if so by how much. According the records this will be the third set for this truck . Thanks Tim
They are the same size as factory. The knurled are oversize.
I have a 05 4wd, truck has had the BJ's done at 80k (oem's) and then once again @ around 117k with MOOG's and now at 141k I'm being told they have some slight play. 24k miles !!! Being that I currently run MOOG's would I need knurled ? or could I go smooth? thanks !!
Most likely with that amount of changes, the knurled would be best suited to insure they are a tight and snug fit into the steering knuckle.
