A new entry into the Dodge Ram ball joint space, American Iron takes a different approach to ball joint design offering a bearing based high quality USA made ball joint for Ram trucks. The goal is less failures, less down time, and easy maintenance on your Ram 2500 or 3500 Hemi or Diesel 4wd truck. Whether you have a 2nd gen, 3rd gen, 4th gen, or 5th gen these are a great upgrade.
The Details
Unlike the standard ball joint that uses a pin and wear surface, American Iron took a different approach with 7/8” Teflon-lined bearings in these joints. They are backed with a 2 year or 30,000 mile warranty (whichever comes first) honored by American Iron. The joint is similar to heim style joint, and is easy to service and replace, yet retains the same function necessary to the range of movement for a ball joint. A rebuild is as easy as swapping the knuckle to exchange the bearing, rather than having to press the joints in and out of the truck for service.
