Review on Dorman 520 335 Control Arm by David Miller

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Ball joint out of date

Be careful with this lever. While the arm itself is fine, the ball joint itself is not up to standard. The first picture shows a catastrophic failure of this type of ball joint, in which the upper shell broke and opened, allowing the ball to come out. Luckily we were traveling at 20 mph so the damage was minor but the wishbone and rim had to be replaced. The wing also suffered as it sat on the hoop. The only thing holding the lever and keeping the spring from loosening and flying out was the shock. I buy this lever, but immediately replace the ball joint with a better one; Check out the second picture for where they are next
