Using this ball joint package is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is one of the compatible models: 2003 - 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 or 2003 - 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 with 5.9L / 6.7L Cummins 4x4 engines. Since the joints are pre - greased, you can directly install them as a direct press - in replacement. After installation, know that your ball joints will go through a break - in period. You may experience simulated memory steer for 50 to 500 miles, and this is normal. The amount of steer can vary depending on your vehicle setup and the driving terrain. As for maintenance, the serviceable grease port allows you to keep the joints well - lubricated. The durable Black Oxide Finishing on the joints helps resist corrosion, but it's still a good idea to check for any signs of wear or damage regularly. Remember, these ball joints are not suitable replacements if knurled ball joints have already been installed. Also, to enjoy the Kryptonite No Fine Print Lifetime Warranty, you must buy from an authorized dealer and complete the warranty registration within 90 days of purchase.
