MOTOKU Tailgate Pivot Bushing for Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (2010-2018)

Overview

The MOTOKU Tailgate Pivot Bushing is a purpose-built replacement part designed for the Dodge Ram family. It fits Ram 1500 models from 2009 through 2018, the Ram 1500 Classic from 2019 to 2020, and the Ram 2500 and 3500 from 2010 to 2018. This direct-fit component is engineered to restore steadiness to the tailgate pivot, helping the tailgate move with purpose rather than wobble.

Over time, road exposure, weather, and frequent use can loosen pivots and wear bushings. A worn pivot affects how the tailgate settles against the body, which can change the feel of opening and closing and occasionally create a dull or uneven closure. The MOTOKU bushing is sized to match the original geometry, providing a solid base for reliable tailgate action across compatible Ram models.

Key benefits

• Smoother operation with reduced tailgate play, delivering a steadier feel when you open and close.
• Improved tailgate alignment for more even gaps and a consistent look when closed.
• Quieter closures thanks to dampened movement and reduced rattling during road travel.
• Durable construction designed to withstand daily wear and exposure to the elements of a pickup bed environment.
• Broad compatibility means DIY enthusiasts can pursue a straightforward replacement across several Ram variants.

What to expect after installation

• A smoother, more predictable tailgate action during routine loading and unloading.
• Better seating and closing alignment, reducing the chances of misalignment after repeated use.
• Potentially fewer rattles at highway speeds, contributing to a calmer ride in the cab area.
• A practical upgrade that emphasizes reliability and long-term value in aging tailgate hardware.
