Keep your front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-7348, a front lower ball joint that drops in as a direct replacement across foreign-nameplate applications. It fits the 2012-2014 Hyundai Azera, 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL, 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata, and select Kia models (Cadenza, Optima, Sorento, Soul, and Soul EV) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
As a front lower ball joint, it connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel pivot for steering while the suspension travels. If a worn ball joint is behind clunking from the front over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, replacing it with 101-7348 addresses that pivot point. Have the front end diagnosed to confirm the cause before ordering.
