Firm up your steering and locate the front wheel precisely with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly 102-6157 (also written 1026157). This front left lower control arm arrives with its ball joint pre-assembled, dropping in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2011 SAAB 9-3 and 2010-2011 SAAB 9-3X — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
As the lower link, it helps support and locate the front suspension while the integrated ball joint allows controlled steering and suspension travel. Signs the original may need replacing include clunking over the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn control arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both in one part.
