Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-8243
Keep the front-left-lower corner of your suspension located and pivoting the way it should with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly 102-8079. This front left lower control arm positions the wheel, allows the suspension to travel, and carries an integrated ball joint that pivots the steering knuckle. It's an application-specific replacement for the 2017-2020 Hyundai Elantra, 2018-2020 Hyundai Elantra GT, and 2019-2023 Kia Forte — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
Worn control-arm bushings or a failing ball joint can show up as clunking on acceleration, deceleration or over uneven pavement, uneven tire wear, or wandering steering. If a worn front lower arm or its ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Sold individually; order the matching opposite-side arm if you're replacing both corners together.
