Keep your front suspension tight and your steering precise with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-3412. This front lower ball joint drops in as a direct replacement for the 1974-1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details. The ball joint is the pivoting connection between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel move through suspension travel and steering while keeping the wheel located.
Worn ball joints can show up as clunking or knocking from the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a failed ball joint is the cause, this unit replaces it. Ball joints wear as a pair, so inspect and consider replacing both sides for balanced handling.
