Help keep the front suspension tight and the wheel properly located with the Beck/Arnley control arm 102-7187, a front right upper control arm with ball joint built as a direct replacement for the original part. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird, 2011-2019 Jaguar XJ and 2018-2019 Jaguar XJR575. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Beck/Arnley builds its parts for original-equipment applications on foreign nameplates, sourcing them through a trusted global network and holding each one to its own requirements and specifications.
The upper control arm links the steering knuckle to the chassis and pivots as the suspension travels, while the ball joint lets the knuckle turn and move with the wheel. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering and uneven tire wear. Other parts can cause similar symptoms, so have the suspension inspected first. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, torque values and whether the originals may be reused, and have the alignment checked afterward.
