In this review the TRQ Front Upper Ball Joint Set is evaluated for owners of Dodge Ram trucks who need a direct fit replacement for front upper ball joints. The kit includes both driver and passenger side adjustable ball joints that are designed to replace the original equipment without modification, and that practical focus on fit and ease of installation is the single biggest reason to consider this set. The review examines fitment across model years, build quality, installation experience, and real owner feedback.
Key Features
- Complete kit: Includes one driver side and one passenger side front upper ball joint so both sides can be serviced together for consistent wear and alignment.
- Direct replacement: Pre-assembled and adjustable design means these ball joints are intended to fit original mounting locations and reduce the need for modifications.
- Wide fitment: Compatible with multiple Dodge and Ram model years for 1500, 2500 and 3500 series trucks, which simplifies sourcing one part for several vehicles.
- DIY support: The brand provides instructional videos and resources to help technicians and home mechanics view before they do and reduce installation guesswork.
- Durability focus: Built as a replacement part aimed at restoring steering and suspension function and maintaining alignment when installed correctly.
Who It's For
This set is best for owners of 2003 through 2023 Ram and Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks who need a front upper ball joint replacement and prefer a direct fit adjustable unit that can be installed without fabrication. It is particularly useful for DIYers or independent shops that value available how-to videos and clear compatibility references.
Those who should look elsewhere include owners who require OEM branded parts for warranty conformity, or buyers who need an exact bolt and hardware guarantee from the seller, since some customers have reported mixed experiences with included bolts and fasteners.
Pros & Cons

- Strong value proposition for replacing both sides at once versus purchasing single items separately.
