Keep the front suspension tight and steering precise with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-3781, a front lower ball joint that pivots the steering knuckle and control arm while carrying suspension loads. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many foreign-nameplate Mercedes-Benz models, including the 1984-1989 190D, 1984-1991 190E, 1987-1989 260E, 1988-1993 300CE, 1986-1993 300E, 1990-1993 300SL, 1988-1993 300TE, 1992-1993 500E, 1990-1993 500SL, 1986-1989 560SL, 1994 E500, 1994-1997 SL320, 1994-1995 SL500 and more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

A worn ball joint may show up as clunking or popping over the front suspension, imprecise steering, or uneven tire wear — signs this part may need replacing. If a failed front lower ball joint is the cause, this unit replaces it. Replacing ball joints in matched pairs is good practice for balanced handling.
