Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint P/N:101-7678
Keep steering tight and front suspension travel smooth with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-4038, a front upper ball joint that pivots the control arm against the steering knuckle so the wheels can steer and the suspension can move. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1995 Toyota Pickup and 1993-1998 Toyota T100 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications.
Worn ball joints can show up as clunking over the front end, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear. If a failed front upper ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. Ball joints often wear as a pair, so inspect the opposite side at the same time.
