Keep the front suspension tight and steering precise with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-8706, a front lower ball joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2023-2025 Toyota bZ4X and 2019-2024 Toyota RAV4 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). This pivoting joint links the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle, carrying suspension load while letting the wheel steer and travel over the road.
Worn ball joints may show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, uneven tire wear, loose or wandering steering, or a squeak from the front suspension. If a failed front lower ball joint is the cause, this unit replaces it. Ball joints work in pairs across an axle — inspect both sides and replace them together for balanced steering and even wear.
