Need 1997 Ram 1500 ball joints, tie rods, hubs, or a front-end kit? 1997 is 2nd-gen Dodge Ram 1500 (1994–2001). 2002–2008 3rd-gen (DR/DH) uses different arms, hubs, and steering. Older D150/W150 numbers are not a straight swap. Not 2500, not vans, not Ramcharger.
A clunk at low speed is usually a ball joint or sway link. Wander or inner-edge tire wear is more often a tie rod or a worn control-arm bushing. Most people replace the control arm as a complete unit with the ball joint already pressed in.
