What is the AAM axle and why is it prone to Ball Joint failure?
The AAM (American Axle & Manufacturing) axle is used in vehicles such as the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500, and it is known to be prone to ball joint failure. The AAM axle's design, particularly in the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models, is susceptible to issues such as the ball joints wallowing out of the hole in the inner C with each ball joint replacement. This is due to the unique design of the AAM axle, where the upper and lower joints rotate in different axes, leading to increased wear and tear on the ball joints. Additionally, the non-greaseable factory AAM ball joints can suffer from lack of lubrication, contributing to their premature failure. These factors have led to frequent ball joint replacements in vehicles equipped with AAM axles, causing inconvenience, and added costs for vehicle owners.
