early 4th-gen DS Ram 1500 shop notes — 2009
2009 Ram 1500 suspension — DS early shop focus
Model-year 2009 sits in the DS early Ram 1500 window (2009–2012). It is not 2002–2008 DR/DH, not 2500/3500.
Catalog applications for DS early (2009–2012) often repeat the same SKUs across adjacent years in this generation — that is expected. This URL stays year-specific for 2009 with a self-canonical and year-locked heading/links. On-page catalog SKUs called out here include MOOG front, MOOG K80630, MOOG K100316, MOOG K100115, MOOG K500286, MOOG K7411, MOOG K200184, MOOG K200185 — use only these rows (and the lists below), not torque charts we do not publish. Cross-shop the same model year: 2009 Ram 1500 brake parts · 2009 Ram 1500 shock parts.
These generation-aware notes apply to the early 4th-gen DS Ram 1500. Confirm the VIN/build date and the catalog forks shown below before pressing joints or ordering hubs.
- Clunk over small bumps: inspect sway-bar links and frame bushings first; measure the sway bar before ordering.
- Steering wander or uneven tire wear: check inner and outer tie rods, ball-joint play, and control-arm bushings before alignment.
- Hub growl that changes while turning: verify ABS configuration, stud count, and production-date split before ordering.
- Support the lower arm, follow factory torque sequence, and perform an alignment after ball-joint, tie-rod, or control-arm work.
