Keep your front suspension tight and your steering precise with the Beck/Arnley ball joint (MPN 101-3412), a direct-fit front lower Beck/Arnley ball joint for the 1974-1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle. It connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, carrying the load while letting the suspension travel and the wheel pivot for steering.
Key features:
Signs the original front lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking or popping over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven front tire wear. If a worn ball joint is the cause, this unit replaces it. Ball joints on both sides wear at a similar rate, so inspect the opposite side and consider replacing both for balanced handling.
