Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint P/N:101-5042
Keep the front suspension tight and steering precise with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint (MPN 101-4102, also written 1014102). This is the front lower ball joint that pivots the lower control arm against the steering knuckle, carrying suspension load while letting the wheel steer and travel over the road. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-2002 Honda Accord, 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey, 1996-1999 Isuzu Oasis, 1997-1999 Acura CL, 1999-2003 Acura TL, and 2001-2003 Acura CL — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the front when going over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven front tire wear. Sold individually; ball joints wear per corner, so inspect both sides and replace as your service procedure directs.
