Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint P/N:101-8074
Help keep your front suspension tracking straight with the Beck/Arnley ball joint 101-5246 (also written 1015246), a front lower joint that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2002-2009 SAAB 9-5. A ball joint is the pivoting connection between the control arm and steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel and the wheel steer while carrying load — worn joints often show up as clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, all signs the joint may need replacing.
When replacing a ball joint, inspect the opposite side as well — replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced steering and handling. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment on the 2002-2009 SAAB 9-5.
