Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-5418
Replace a worn front left lower arm and its ball joint in one step with the Beck/Arnley Control Arm with Ball Joint 102-8228, a Subaru Crosstrek control arm listed for the 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek and the 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek. It is designed to match the original part's form, fit and function in the front left lower position.
The lower control arm links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the wheel travel up and down while helping hold it in position. The ball joint is the pivot point that allows the knuckle to move with the suspension and turn with the steering.
This part may need replacing if you notice clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play at the ball joint. Other suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.
