Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint P/N:101-8074
Tighten up steering response and restore a solid link between the lower control arm and steering knuckle with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-7357. This is the front left lower ball joint, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 BMW 325XI and 2001-2005 BMW 330XI — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. As a pivoting joint, it lets the suspension travel and the wheel steer while carrying load, so a worn unit is a common cause of clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear.
Beck/Arnley specializes in OE-quality replacement parts for foreign nameplates. If a failed front left lower ball joint is behind your symptoms, this replaces it.
