Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint P/N:101-8705
Help keep steering tight and suspension articulation smooth with the Beck/Arnley ball joint (P/N 101-0644), a front upper suspension ball joint built as an application-specific, direct replacement for OE on foreign nameplates. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1973-1979 Jaguar XJ12, 1982-1996 Jaguar XJS and 1972-1997 Jaguar XJ6 — 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.
