Restore tight, precise steering and quiet suspension travel with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly 102-5161 (also written 1025161). This is the front left (driver-side) lower control arm with the ball joint pre-installed, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX and the 1995-1999 Nissan Sentra — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
The lower control arm locates the wheel and, through its integrated ball joint, allows the steering knuckle to pivot and articulate over bumps. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking on acceleration or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn control arm or ball joint is the cause, replacing this assembly restores the affected pivot.
