Firm up steering response and settle your front suspension with the Beck/Arnley control arm 102-6701, a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 SAAB 900 and 1999-2003 SAAB 9-3. It installs in the front left (driver's side) lower rearward position and is engineered to match OE form, fit and function, so it drops in like the original arm it replaces.
Direct fit: Application-specific for the listed SAAB models in the front left lower rearward location.
Construction: Built from steel, iron, or aluminum depending on application for durability and rust/corrosion resistance.
OE-matched design: Comes without a ball joint, matching the OE design.
Foreign-nameplate coverage: Designed as an OE-quality replacement for foreign nameplate applications.
The control arm locates the wheel and links the suspension to the chassis while its bushings help isolate road vibration. Clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear can be signs the control arm bushings or mounting are worn — diagnose the cause before replacing, since other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms. This listing is for one arm; if a bad arm on the opposite side is the cause of your issue, replace that side as well.
