Keep your Audi's front wheels precisely located and steering smoothly with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-6806. This front lower ball joint installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2011 Audi A5 Quattro and S5, the 2009-2012 Audi A4, A4 Quattro and Q5, the 2010-2011 Audi A5, the 2010-2012 Audi S4, and the 2012 Audi A6, A6 Quattro and A7 Quattro.
A front lower ball joint is the pivoting connection between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel move through its suspension travel and turn with the steering while staying located.
Ball joints tend to wear together, so replacing the left and right sides as a pair is a common best practice for balanced front-end handling.
