What this Ram 1500 diagram covers

This list is Moog’s Ram 1500 pages from the 2007–2018 book: 2011–2018 DS (4th gen) plus 2019 1500 Classic. The PDF’s first page still has leftover Porsche Macan rows; those are not used here. 2019+ 5th-gen (DT, Rebel, TRX) is a different front end. Do not mix 1500 IFS numbers with Ram 2500/3500 solid-axle steering.

On 2009–2018 1500s the parts that come up most often are upper and lower ball joints, outer tie rods, hub bearings, and sway-bar links. 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. Control arms are commonly replaced as complete units with the ball joint already pressed in.

Use the year/make/model search on this page, or pick the Moog number off the diagram and search it. Related: 2020 Ram 1500 5-inch lift kit and how to diagnose suspension noises.

If your year is newer than the catalog, use the year/make/model search on this page. Leave a comment with the year and the noise if you want a part-number check.
