Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint P/N:101-8337
Keep the front suspension tight and steering responsive with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint (101-5433), a direct-fit IS300 ball joint for the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300. This is the front right lower unit — the pivoting joint that links the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing controlled suspension travel while letting the wheel steer. Worn joints often show up as front-end clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear; if a failed ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.
As a front right lower joint, replace it as directed by the service procedure and consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque.
