Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-8243
Locate the front wheel and control its motion with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly 102-8212. This front left lower assembly drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Mercedes-Benz C240, 2003-2005 Mercedes-Benz C320, 2006-2007 Mercedes-Benz C280, and 2006-2007 Mercedes-Benz C350. The control arm connects the wheel hub to the chassis, works with the bushings to absorb road inputs, and carries an integrated ball joint that allows the steering knuckle to pivot and travel.
Signs this assembly may need replacing include clunking on acceleration, braking, or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and cracked or worn bushings. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and inspect the opposite side so both corners wear evenly.
