Renault Fluence Z.E. Front Lower Ball Joint
This ball joint with additional parts fits the front lower control arm of the Renault Fluence Z.E. on the left or the right. It bolts to the arm, so you can renew the joint without replacing the whole arm.
The ball joint lets the hub pivot as you steer and the suspension moves up and down. A worn joint causes knocks from the front over bumps, play in the steering and uneven tyre wear, and a split rubber boot lets water in and speeds up the wear. A worn ball joint is an MOT failure, so check for play whenever the car is up on a lift.

The additional parts needed to fit the joint come with it.
