Detailed Description

MAS Chassis BJ81105 is engineered as a replacement suspension ball joint for front lower positions on 2005-2012 Dodge Dakota, 2011 Ram Dakota, and 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider applications. The press-fit design, taper stud attachment, and greaseable construction support a serviceable front suspension repair where the original joint has loosened, worn, or developed play. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K80605 and Delphi TC5290 for the same application. BJ81105 is a practical choice when replacing a worn front lower ball joint on a Dodge Dakota or Mitsubishi Raider with OE-style fitment requirements.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Front-end clunking or popping over bumps
• Excessive play in the lower control arm area
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension looseness
• Steering wander or imprecise road feel
• Visible boot damage or grease loss at the joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2005-2012 Dodge Dakota, front lower. Fits 2011 Ram Dakota, front lower. Fits 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider, front lower. Because this is a press-in ball joint, proper removal and installation tools are recommended to avoid damage to the control arm or new joint. Verify stud taper, housing press fit diameter, and fastener alignment before final assembly. Use the included castle nut and cotter pin during installation, and grease the joint through the zerk fitting after assembly if required by service procedure. BJ81105 should be matched to the exact front lower application listed above before installation.
