Detailed Description

Beck Arnley sources parts to match OE form, fit, and function across foreign nameplates, and this front lower ball joint follows that approach for Mazda suspension service. The part number 101-8622 is engineered for the front lower position on 2013-2024 Mazda CX-5, 2014-2021 Mazda 6, 2016-2021 Mazda CX-3, and 2014-2018 Mazda 3.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end looseness from a worn lower ball joint
• Clunking or knocking from suspension movement
• Uneven steering response at the front suspension
• Excess play in Mazda CX-5, Mazda 6, CX-3, or Mazda 3 front lower suspension
• Restoration of OE-style suspension articulation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and front lower position before installation. Because this ball joint is pre-greased and not greaseable, no grease fitting is provided. Confirm the correct nut and retaining hardware are available for the specific application, since castle nut, cotter pin, locking nut, and mounting hardware are not included.
