Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-8368
Tighten up steering response and restore proper wheel geometry with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (P/N 102-7908). It installs as a direct-fit replacement in the front left lower position on the 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle and the 2012-2022 Volkswagen Passat — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level details on your vehicle.
The lower control arm locates the front wheel and, through its integral ball joint, allows the knuckle to steer and travel while keeping alignment angles in check. Signs the original may need replacing include clunking on acceleration, deceleration, or over uneven pavement, 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 job. Replacing the matching side can help keep handling balanced.
