Tighten up a loose, clunky front end with the Beck/Arnley control arm (MPN 102-5163), a front left lower unit with the ball joint already installed. It's an application-specific, direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2004 Chevrolet Tracker, 1999-2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2002-2006 Suzuki XL-7, and 1999-2004 Suzuki Vitara — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine.
The control arm locates the front wheel and its integrated ball joint lets the knuckle pivot for steering and suspension travel. A worn arm bushing or ball joint can show up as clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear; if a failed original is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Replacing the matching side on the other corner at the same time helps keep handling balanced.
