My 2001 ram quad 4x4 gasser has bad ball joints [all other components look good] the driver tire was worn somewhat evenly [low air pressure i think] the passenger side was worn on the outer edge and pulling to the right. I rotated the rears to the front and the pulling has subsided. My question is do i need to install adjustable ball joints or just install standard ones [i know that oem was non adjustable] i'm running stock 245/75/16 tires with aftermarket rims 16/8 [these have not been installed yet till i get the ball joints replaced and aligned]. This was a one owner truck that was not abused [as far as i can tell]. In my reading i have found that it's a coherant issue with most solid axle rams pull to the right and wear right hand tires and they have adjustable lower trailing arms for some adjustment, i'm not sure what would be in my best intrest to do [i don't like wasting time/money. But i dont want to cheap out either.Anyone with experiance in this area comments are appreciated,thanks in advance.
