Keep steering tight and suspension articulation smooth with the Beck/Arnley ball joint (P/N 101-0644), a front upper ball joint built as an application-specific, direct replacement for OE on foreign nameplates. It fits a wide range of classic Jaguars, including the 1967 Jaguar 420, 1959-1961 Mark IX, 1955-1957 Mark VII, 1957-1958 Mark VIII, 1962-1966 Mark X, 1969-1971 XJ, 1972-1997 XJ6, 1993 XJRS, the XJ12 (1973-1979 and 1994-1996) and the XJS (1976-1980 and 1982-1996) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A front upper ball joint connects the upper control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the suspension to travel and the wheel to steer while keeping the joint located and free of play. If a worn front upper ball joint is the cause of clunking, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
