Tighten up worn front suspension and keep your steering crisp with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-8166 (also written 1018166). It's a direct-fit replacement for the front lower rearward position on the 2006 BMW 325XI, 2009-2013 BMW 328I XDRIVE, 2007-2008 BMW 328XI, 2006 BMW 330XI, 2009-2013 BMW 335I XDRIVE, and 2013-2015 BMW X1. A ball joint forms the pivoting connection between the control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer while the suspension travels over the road.
