Review on Improved SEO: Beck Arnley 101-6526 Ball Joint for Superior Performance by Brian Douglas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit for 2003 Honda Accord

Installed on a 2003 Honda Accord. fits perfectly. looks like a quality item. The ones I got are made in Japan by (Sankie) 555. The ball joint press kits available from Advance Auto Parts or Auto Zone do not have an adapter to remove the old ball joint from the steering knuckle (post 2003). The bracket is very close to the inside of the steering knuckle where the wheel bearing is is located so that there is not enough space for a full round adapter. It needs to be cut out (adapter can be purchased from OTC). I was able to remove the old ball joint by tapping it out with a 3lb sledgehammer (after cutting the shaft off), it came out fairly easily and then used a ball joint press tool to install the new one.

Pros
  • Matches OE parts for form, fit and function
Cons
  • Requires socket
