Review on Dorman 521-390: Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly for Chevrolet, GMC, and Oldsmobile Models by Jesse Hughes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

it's a good value. However

For the price it is good value. However, there are other aftermarket options that I think would be the best option given the modest difference in regular cost. Since I got it from a warehouse deal, it was unbeatable value for money. Please note that the image may be on the wrong side. At this point, the listing actually shows the front left lower control arm. This lever does not have a grease nipple like the original. The bushings on the main pivot are also a bit simple compared to the originals and definitely compared to other arms available. See http://www.amazon.com/Auto-Extra-Mevotech-MS50155-Control-Arm/dp/B002UWKSUI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426491146&sr=8-3&keywords=mevotech+control+arm+2002+ Pioneer as a decent, if not Prime-compatible, alternative.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Useless features
