Don’t get me wrong ,, I’m all for knowing if there is a problem and what it is .. the thing what I have been finding looking around on forums doesn’t appear to be aimed at the SRT rams but aimed at multiple vehicles and many having the problem due to lowered and lifted trucks that mess with the geometry of the suspension ! Many other factors that I did state previously are some of those factors . Many Ram srt trucks have modified their trucks to different levels .. I have not and have not had a problem with the ball joints or the boots .. imdid think my ball joints were bad due to a clunking noise , I also bought new ball joints years ago .. well it turned out my ball joints are fine and it was the sway bar end link on the drivers side that IMO is a stupid goofy link design that really is not lubricated well and was also not something easy to see and I got lucky to notice it when I was checking the ball joints .. I did get the new sway bar links ( the problem solvers ) which zi have no idea if they will last ( I’m skeptical) but the truck no longer makes the damn popping clunk noise ! Just looking at the sway bar link you couldn’t even tell it was broken !
Lots of SRT10s are at stock height with blown boots. Go on Facebook, which is much more active than here, and you'll see lots of threads about it. All my cars are lowered, have gone decades with 10s of thousands of miles with no ball joint issues, but somehow these trucks seem to have higher than average casualties.
I get it, the SRT10 can never lose, but all vehicles have their flaws; nothing is perfect and calling out flaws doesn't need to get under your skin...unless you designed the lower control arm lol. Just mark it in your cap to watch for it if you find yourself (or anyone researching a future purchase) looking at another SRT10 or wrenching on one.
