Front Lower Arm Ball Joint (Left) for BYD Song L, OE 12252706-00

This is the left hand joint, fitted at the front lower position on the nearside of the car as you face forward from the driver's seat. Its opposite number on the right is a separate listing with a different OE number, so ordering by description alone can catch you out. Look at the corner you are working on and confirm it before you buy. If both sides are being changed at the same visit, order the left and the right as two lines. The OE number for this one is 12252706-00.

The joint fits a broad range of BYD vehicles, so the badge on the car is only the starting point. Use the fitment table on this page and find your exact variant in it before ordering. Where you can get at the old joint, the OE number 12252706-00 is the firmest confirmation available, since it identifies the left front lower position specifically. If the car is not shown in the table, or the fitted joint is too corroded to read, send your vehicle details through the quote route and we will match it for you.

Both tiers are priced on this page for this joint. The Original/Genuine version is the BYD part, made by the vehicle manufacturer. The Aftermarket version is an alternative supply for the same application, and no separate manufacturer is named for it, so we will not claim one. Both are listed as new and both are matched to the same fitment table. Choose on price and on what your garage prefers to work with, and give them OE number 12252706-00 either way.

This part sits under two references in our records. Alongside the OE number 12252706-00 it is also listed as ST-2904300A, and either one points at the same left front lower joint. If the marking on the part you removed matches one of them, order with confidence. If it matches neither, take a clear look at the whole marking, since a casting code can be stamped near the reference and is easily mistaken for it. Send us what you can read together with your vehicle details through the quote route and we will confirm it.

This joint is safety critical and sits in the suspension of the car, so it is work for a qualified technician with proper support under the vehicle. We publish no fitting method and no tightening figures for it, and neither should be improvised on the day. Your garage will follow the vehicle manufacturer's own instructions, including any alignment work the job calls for afterwards. Book the car in first, then give them OE number 12252706-00 and the left front lower position so the right item is waiting.

Delivery takes 8 to 25 days from your order to your door. For a firmer answer before you order, ask through the quote route and quote OE number 12252706-00.

The material for this joint is metal. The packaging details for it are shown on this page. Metal construction means the joint can be handled without much worry in transit, but it also means corrosion on the fitted part can make removal slow, and your technician should allow for that when quoting the labour. We do not publish a service life for it. Confirm you have the correct item by reading OE number 12252706-00 against the fitment table here.
