Keep your front end tight and steering responsive with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-5117 — a Bmw X5 ball joint built as a direct replacement for the 2000-2006 BMW X5. This front lower ball joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel over bumps while the wheel pivots for steering. It is engineered to match the original equipment's form, fit, and function for foreign-nameplate applications.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the front suspension, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing. For balanced wear, it's good practice to inspect and, if needed, replace the joint on both sides together.
