Detailed Description

BBB Industries N502-0145 is a replacement steering gear for 2009-2012 Dodge Ram 3500 and 2011-2012 Ram 3500 cab-chassis trucks with power steering.

What It Helps Resolve

• Excessive steering play or looseness
• Hard steering effort or inconsistent steering response
• Leaking steering gear connections at the inlet or outlet ports
• Worn internal steering gear components affecting road feel
• Replacement needs after steering gear wear on Ram 3500 cab-chassis trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s year, make, model, cab-chassis configuration, and power steering setup before installation. Match the input and output spline counts, shaft diameters, and port thread sizes to the original unit before removal. After installation, inspect steering linkage alignment and verify proper steering wheel centering and fluid connection integrity.
