Searching for a 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma ball joint? The Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint (101-8538) is a front upper ball joint that drops in as a direct replacement for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma. It forms the pivoting connection between the front upper control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer while the suspension travels up and down over the road.

  • OE form, fit and function: engineered to match the original equipment part's form, fit and function on the listed applications.
  • Corrosion protection: coated or plated to resist corrosion.
  • Hardware as needed: the necessary hardware is supplied as needed to complete the installation.
  • Application specific: built specifically for this vehicle application.

Signs that a worn ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear; if a failed front upper ball joint is the cause, this part replaces it. Sold individually — front upper joints install as a left/right pair, so replacing both together is good practice for balanced wear.
