The Dodge Ram2500 identified problems with ball joints, but most of them have been caused when the truck was lifted. Symptoms of a bad ball joint include "clunk" or "knock" when turning or going over bumps, which may indicate a problem with a ball joint. The sensation of the ball joint knocking is felt on the floorboard, too. A repair technician can discover that a ball joint leaks lubricant from a cracked or torn boot during an inspection or repair. Excessive wear on the inside or outer sides of the front tires can also lead to problems with the ball joints.
