Are you tired of frequently replacing your Dodge 2500/3500 or Power Wagon's ball joints? Do you want to eliminate the quirky steering characteristics? American Iron Offroad™ offers a solution with its innovative AAM Ball Joint Delete™ System. Our custom-engineered system addresses the unique challenges of the AAM, providing a durable and explained solution.
What is the AAM axle and why is it prone to ball joint failure?
The AAM (American Axle & Manufacturing) axle is used in vehicles such as the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500, and it is known to be prone to ball joint failure. The AAM axle's design, particularly in the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models, is susceptible to issues such as the ball joints wallowing out of the hole in the inner C with each ball joint replacement. This is due to the unique design of the AAM axle, where the upper and lower joints rotate in different axes, leading to increased wear and tear on the ball joints. Additionally, the non-greaseable factory AAM ball joints can suffer from lack of lubrication, contributing to their premature failure. These factors have led to frequent ball joint replacements in vehicles equipped with AAM axles, causing inconvenience, and added costs for vehicle owners.
Experience improved steering stability and eliminate frequent ball joint replacements on your Dodge Ram 2500, 3500, or Power Wagon with American Iron Offroad ™ 's AAM Ball Joint Delete™ System. Custom-engineered for the AAM axle, this system provides a highly durable, rebuildable solution to common ball joint issues.
