Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-8242
Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-8242
$235.99

Tighten up your rear suspension with the Beck/Arnley control arm and ball joint assembly (P/N 102-8242), a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2012 Acura RL. This is the rear left upper (rearward) control arm, and it arrives with its ball joint already installed so you locate the wheel and manage suspension geometry in one bolt-in unit.

Beck/Arnley designs this part as a direct replacement for the Original Equipment application, with attention given to form, fit, and function so it drops into the factory position.

  • OE form, fit, and function: matches the original equipment part it replaces.
  • Ball joint included: the control arm comes with its ball joint for a complete installation.
  • Durable construction: steel, iron, or aluminum construction for durability and rust/corrosion resistance.
  • Hardware & bushings: new hardware and bushings included where applicable.

If a worn ball joint or tired bushings on this rear upper arm are behind clunking over bumps, uneven rear tire wear, or vague handling, this application-specific assembly replaces them. If you're shopping an Acura Rl upper control arm or a general Acura Rl control arm, confirm this is the rear left upper rearward position for your car.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Beck/Arnley control arm fit my vehicle?

It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2012 Acura RL. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine and trim details for your specific vehicle.

What does this control arm do?

It's a suspension arm that locates the wheel and, through its ball joint, allows the required movement. This unit is the rear left upper (rearward) arm with the ball joint pre-installed.

Does the ball joint come with this control arm?

Yes. The control arm comes with its ball joint for a complete installation, so you don't have to source the joint separately.

What is this control arm made of?

It uses steel, iron, or aluminum construction for durability and rust/corrosion resistance. It also matches OE form, fit, and function.

What are the signs this control arm may need replacing?

Clunking over bumps, uneven rear tire wear, or vague handling can point to a worn ball joint or bushings. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.
