Buddy of mine has a '15 1500 4x4, leveled with Bilstein 5100 struts. The inner right side shaft has play where the CV axle goes on.
I had a '03 and I had to replace both left and right inners twice in 311,000 miles. They weren't to bad and readily available.
On these trucks it seems the right side is not available. Anyone had to deal with this?
And why the hell didn't Ram change it up to a better design?
Thanks for the help.

Most times you have to replace the CV Shaft assy with a complete rebuilt one that includes the inner and outer a rebuilder called Fleet Pride rebuilds these at a honest price, and how much of a lift do you have that will effect your driveshaft's.

Not drive shaft, axle shaft. He only has Bilstein leveling struts. But he only recently installed them.
Just an extremely weak point in the system if you ask me.
