Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint P/N:101-4831
Keep the front lower control arm connected to the steering knuckle with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-8043 (also written 1018043), a front right lower ball joint that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata, 2016-2021 Hyundai Tucson, 2016-2019 Kia Optima, and 2017-2022 Kia Sportage. This pivoting joint lets the suspension travel while the wheel steers; when it wears, you may notice clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — signs this part may need replacing.
If a failed ball joint is the cause of your symptoms, this unit replaces it. Sold individually; inspect the opposite side and replace in pairs if worn for balanced handling. Follow the vehicle service information for torque specs and whether any fasteners may be reused.
