Brought to you by 1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Hi. I'm Mike Green; I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this, to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly. That's going to save you time and money. Thank you, and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the front drive axle on this '04 Dodge Ram, same as most of these '02 to '08 generation vehicles. Pretty easy, you need a 22 millimeter or 7/8 socket and lug wrench or, I'm sorry, a lug wrench or a socket and ratchet. You'll also need a 35 millimeter socket with an air impact wrench or a large breaker bar and pipe. First, you want to remove your wheel, if you're just using hand tools start with the vehicle on the ground, loosen lug nuts first, then raise it, secure it with jack stands and then remove the wheel. I've got air tools; I'm going to use them. These are either 7/8 or 22 millimeter. Both will work. So you'll notice here that the brakes are apart. You do not have to take the breaks apart. I was just filming this while I was doing a few different repairs. This only involves lifting up the truck, taking the wheel off and then removing and replacing the axle. You'll also notice that I don't actually replace the axle with a new one, because it wasn't bad on this vehicle, I was just doing the video so you can see how it's done. I'm going to take the hub nut off, and I've got a 35-millimeter impact wrench and socket. I've your using hand tools, you're going to have to lift up, take the lug nuts off, take the center cap off, put the wheel back on, and the lug nuts back on, then use your breaker bar and pipe. A little more difficult, a little more involved, but that's how you do it. I'll just get to it and use my impact wrench here. Okay, I hit it and it moved so it's free.
Now, what you want to do is get a pry bar and then go way up like that, and pull your axle right off like that. Hammer, and your axle is out. So now we're just going to take our axle, put it right up around here, feed it into the hub, turn it a little bit so we know we're matching it with the hub. Push it right in. I'm going to take my hub nut and using my impact wrench, just to get it on there, not really to tighten it all the way up yet. Now, I'm going to grab hold of my CV joint on the inside, pull it. So you go up on the top, pull your joint in as much as you can. Get it going onto the axle, and then push all the way on. Make sure it gets on there. So you're axle is back in. Put your wheel back up on and put the lug nuts on there without the center cap. Just put them on by hand first, and then I'm just going to tighten them up a little bit with my impact wrench, preliminarily. So your hub nut 185 foot pounds, my poor torque wrench only goes up to 150. So there's 150, 185. Now, I'll raise the vehicle back up, take the lug nuts off, put the center cap back on, and preliminarily tighten up the lug nuts. Let the vehicle back down and torque the lug nuts to 120 foot-pounds, using a star pattern.

The CV axle shafts on the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500 are both the same length. So yes it will work on the drivers side. The front differential is offset, which might be what you are thinking of.
