To replace the front CV joint on a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheel. Next, disconnect the axle nut, remove the lower control arm, and detach the CV axle from the differential. After extracting the old CV joint, install the new joint by reversing the disassembly steps, ensuring all components are tightened to the manufacturer’s specifications. Finally, reattach the wheel and lower the vehicle.
