Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-8449
Replace a worn lower arm and its ball joint in one step with the Beck/Arnley control arm 102-4966, built for the front left lower rearward position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat, 2000-2002 Audi S4 and 1996-2007 Audi A4 Quattro. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
This control arm and ball joint assembly links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the wheel travel with the suspension, and the ball joint serves as the pivot point for steering.
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear are signs this arm or its ball joint may need replacing. Other components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. Whether you are servicing a 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat lower arm or a 2000-2002 Audi S4 control arm, replacing the left and right arms together is recommended.
