Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-6030
Replace a worn rear upper control arm in one step with the Beck/Arnley Control Arm with Ball Joint 102-4805, a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Honda Accord, 2001-2003 Acura CL and 1999-2003 Acura TL. The arm links the rear knuckle to the chassis, letting the wheel travel up and down while helping hold it in its designed alignment. The ball joint is the pivot for that movement. Because the ball joint comes with the arm, this control arm and ball joint assembly lets you replace both parts in the same job. The Buyer's Guide tab lists the engine details for each vehicle.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, uneven or early rear tire wear, a loose or wandering feel, or an alignment that will not stay in spec. Other suspension components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this the right control arm for a 1999-2003 Acura TL?
Yes. It is cataloged as the rear upper control arm for the 1999-2003 Acura TL, and the Buyer's Guide tab shows the engine details for each listed vehicle.
What does a rear upper control arm do?
It links the rear knuckle to the chassis, letting the wheel travel up and down while helping hold it in its designed alignment. The ball joint is the pivot for that movement.
Does it come with the ball joint?
Yes. Beck/Arnley supplies this control arm with its ball joint, so the arm and joint are replaced together and you do not have to buy them separately.
What are signs the rear upper control arm may need replacing?
Clunking from the rear over bumps, uneven rear tire wear, a loose feel, or an alignment that won't hold can indicate wear. Other suspension parts cause similar symptoms, so diagnose first.
Should I get an alignment after installing it?
Replacing a control arm can change the suspension geometry, so a wheel alignment afterward is a good idea. Follow the vehicle service information for torque specs and procedures.
