2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Steering Knuckle Parts and Q&A
Q: How to Service and Repair a Steering Knuckle on 2004 Dodge Ram 2500?
A: Raise and support the vehicle before you begin and then remove the wheel and tire assembly. After that, remove the brake caliper, rotor, shield and ABS wheel speed sensor if your car has one. If there is a front halfshaft nut, take it off, then remove the tie rod end nut and separate the tie rod from the knuckle using Remover 8677, trying not to damage the ball joint seal. After finishing, take off the nut above the ball joint with Remover 8677, separate the ball joint from the knuckle and repeat for the nut below. After that, remove the hub/bearing from the steering knuckle. Prior to installing, use mineral spirits to remove any oil or dirt from the tapered areas of the studs. Position the speed sensor opening of the hub/bearing connection in the front when installing it on a vehicle using ABS. Attach the hub/bearing to the steering knuckle and tighten the bolts to 163 Nm (120 ft. lbs.) for LD and 176 Nm (130 ft. lbs.) for HD 4X2 vehicles. Following this, fit the knuckle onto both the upper and lower ball joints and install the upper and lower ball joint nuts, tightening them: 1500 series requires turning the upper ball joint nut by 90° more and tightening it to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.); HD 4X2 gets a turn of 90° more and a final nut torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). Take the hydraulic jack off the lower suspension arm and drive in the tie rod end, then tighten the nut to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.). When you have a front halfshaft, put it into place on the hub/bearing and tighten the nut to 251 Nm (185 ft. lbs.). If you have an ABS sensor, replace it along with the brake shield, rotor and caliper. After that, mount the wheel and tire assembly, take off the support, lower the vehicle and align the wheels.
