Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint P/N:101-8074
Keep steering tight and suspension travel controlled with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-8101, a front lower ball joint that serves as the pivoting connection between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to move up and down while the front wheels steer. It's an application-specific replacement for a wide range of Mercedes-Benz SUVs, including the 2012-2015 ML350, 2012-2014 ML550, 2013-2016 GL450, 2016-2019 GLE63 AMG, 2017-2019 GLS450 and many more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered models, years and engines.
Signs the front lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the front suspension over bumps, uneven or accelerated tire wear, loose or wandering steering, and looseness or play at the joint. If a worn ball joint is the cause, this unit replaces it. Replacing ball joints in pairs on the same axle is a good practice for balanced handling.
