Tighten up your steering and suspension with the Beck/Arnley ball joint 101-3234, a front lower suspension ball joint that drops in as a direct replacement for the 1979-1982 Nissan 210 and the 1978-1981 Nissan 510. It forms the pivoting link between the front lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel and the wheels steer while helping locate the wheel. When a worn front lower ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.
Signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the front suspension over bumps, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and loose or wandering steering. Sold individually; ball joints wear at similar rates, so inspect the opposite side and replace in pairs where warranted.
