Review on Top-Quality Beck Arnley 101-5042 Lower Ball Joint: Superior Performance and Durability by Elton Luo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ideal for replacement parts

A replacement ball joint was fitted to my Volvo S60 '01. It's better than some other aftermarket ball joint vendors that have bad boots or gear. This part is a direct replacement, has a very high quality rubber boot and is OEM ready. Comes with all required hardware unlike other kits. *** UPDATE March 31, 2017 *** I am downgraded from (5) >> (3) stars. After about 2 1/2 years this ball joint failed. There was a small hole in the boot that allowed debris to enter and wear out the ball joint. I then bought a replacement OE Lemforder and compared them side by side. The Beck-Arnley Wellington is made from a different material (not sure if that's why, but we can assume) and the overall finish is inferior compared to the OE Lemforder. Lemforder OEs were more expensive but I don't want to change them again in 2-3 years.

Pros
  • Coated or anti-corrosive
Cons
  • old
