How to Check Ball Joints (The Right Way) Tie Rods and Wheel Bearings | RAM 1500 Pick up Truck

Today I'm showing you fine gents how to properly check and diagnose any front end issues including Ball joints, Tie rods and Wheel Bearings quick and easily on your pick up trucks. specifically I check the balls joints, tie rods and bearings on my own RAM 1500 truck. You want to make sure you support the lower controls arms when checking for ball joints play. this allows for any vertical movement to be easily detected. There is some play allowed with ball joints but usually once there is some wear or movement the life of the ball joint if going to be short. ideally there should be no detectable movement from either the ball joints or tie rod ends

MAKE sure you have a proper jack and jack stands before doing any lifting. I know I joke around but last thing you want is to drop your truck on the ground or on you. Anyways I hope the video was helpful and thanks for watching!
