Keep your front suspension pivoting freely and your steering responsive with the Beck/Arnley Front Lower Suspension Ball Joint 101-5778. This front lower ball joint is the pivoting connection between the control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer while the suspension moves through its travel. It fits as a 2011 Kia Sorento ball joint and drops in across the 2001-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2011-2013 Kia Sorento — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Worn ball joints often show up as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — signs this part may need replacing. If a failed front lower ball joint is the cause, this Beck/Arnley unit replaces it. Have the cause diagnosed before ordering.
