Two problems related to front suspension upper ball joint have been reported for the 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Left ball joint started squeaking, I took it to dealer for investigation only to find out that right ball joint was also wearing out. Vehicle had only 45,345 miles on it, and cost me $460. 07. Most of the miles were highway miles, and never used off the road.
Upper ball joints on 1-yr old truck are junk. "sealed" just means they have to be replaced more often, another scam to charge extra dollars. My wife's liberty has failing ball joints also, though hers has an "unissued recall. " I know a few other ram owners with same problem. I had a 1972 chevy p/u with almost 200,000 miles before needing ball joints, why? because I could grease them!!.
