Keep your front suspension pivoting smoothly and your steering tracking true with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Ball Joint 101-4026 (also written 1014026). This front lower ball joint is a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1991 Lexus ES250 and the 1983-1991 Toyota Camry — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level applications. The ball joint acts as the pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel and the wheels steer while carrying load; worn joints are a common source of clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering steer, and uneven tire wear, so if a failed lower ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.
Ball joints wear as a pair — replacing both sides together is good practice for balanced steering and even tire wear.
