Application Details

Compatible with front upper suspension service on 2007-2010 Dodge Ram 2500, 2007-2010 Dodge Ram 3500, 2007-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with 8 lug wheels, 2011-2013 Ram 2500, 2011-2012 Ram 3500, and 2012 Ram 1500 with 8 lug wheels. The Moog CK620181 is built for these truck platforms where added strength and durability are needed in the front suspension.

MOOG High Utilization Designs are engineered for heavier-duty use and more demanding road conditions, making this assembly a practical OE-style replacement when the original upper control arm shows wear. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 521-238 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Front-end clunking or knocking from a worn upper control arm assembly
  • Excessive play from deteriorated bushings or ball joint wear
  • Uneven tire wear caused by suspension looseness
  • Steering instability or wandering at the front axle
  • Inspection failure due to worn suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front upper suspension configuration before ordering, especially on Ram 1500 applications with 8 lug wheels. Inspect the mating hardware, alignment angles, and surrounding suspension components during installation. Because this assembly uses a press-in ball joint and threaded stud design, proper suspension service tools and a professional alignment are recommended after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Moog suspension components are built with serviceability in mind, including a grease fitting for maintenance and a pre-greased assembly for initial installation. The CK620181 is designed as a durable replacement for demanding truck use on Ram and Dodge Ram front suspension systems.
