Its product specialists work with a trusted global sourcing network to deliver OE-quality parts that meet Beck/Arnley's own requirements and specifications.
- OE form, fit and function: designed to match the original upper arm on the listed applications.
- Ball joint included: the arm comes with its ball joint, so the control arm and ball joint assembly goes in as one unit.
- Application specific: built for these vehicles, not as a universal-fit arm.
- Position: rear right upper.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, uneven or early rear tire wear, a loose or wandering feel, and excess play at the ball joint. If a worn arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both at once. Consult the vehicle service information for torque specifications, and have the alignment checked after installation.
