Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint P/N:101-8074
Keep your front suspension tight and your steering precise with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint (P/N: 101-4589), a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1994 Lexus LS400. This is the front left lower ball joint — the pivot that connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the suspension to travel and the wheel to steer while carrying and locating the corner of the vehicle.
A worn ball joint can show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and loose or wandering steering. If a failed front left lower ball joint is the cause of these signs, this unit replaces it. Have the suspension diagnosed to confirm the cause before replacing, and consult the vehicle service information for the correct torque specifications.
