Keep the steering knuckle securely located and pivoting freely with the Beck/Arnley ball joint 101-8101, a front lower suspension ball joint designed as a direct replacement for foreign-nameplate applications. It fits a range of Mercedes-Benz SUVs, including the 2013-2016 GL350, GL450, GL550 and GL63 AMG, the 2012-2015 ML350 and ML63 AMG, and the 2017-2019 GLS450, GLS550 and GLS63 AMG — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
As a front lower ball joint, it forms the pivoting connection between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, supporting suspension loads while allowing the wheel to steer and travel over bumps. If a worn front lower ball joint is behind clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it. Sold individually; order the quantity your vehicle requires.
