Review on 🔧 Dorman 521-351 Front Left Lower Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly: Optimized for Various Honda Odyssey Models by Mike Kimball

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great replacement! - Control Levers and Parts

When my Honda Odyssey was 10 years old I noticed that the steering was softer. Too soft. The car felt very heavy to drive, even with an empty load. At first I blamed the tires I put on a few years ago. But it quickly became apparent that the tires were wearing out faster and more unevenly, and the front parts of the tires were "bent” after the corner. Leveling didn't help much. Then I crawled under the car and noticed that the rubber bushings on the back of the forearms had dried out and cracked. The Honda dealer wanted a 500 to replace them. My local parts store wanted 180 for the lever assembly. And then I found this one. Since I already had the tools to do the job, it wasn't difficult. Free shipping with Revain Prime and 3 hours of work in the driveway and now I have a car that drives like a charm.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Very Expensive
