Review on Beck Arnley 101 3378 Ball Joint by Carl Higdem

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Everything is OK. I wouldn't put it in your VW bus though as it probably won't last long.

I bought this BJ for only $9 on Prime Sale. Didn't really need it, but wanted a rubber boot to replace my rotting cane. Received the joint quickly and well packaged (thanks Prime) but it seemed lighter than my new Nakata brands I have on the shelf. When I removed the boot, I found less than a tablespoon of bearing grease underneath. In fact, there was no fat on the surface of the joint, it just lay on the surface. I can't imagine that once installed the connection will last very long. I suppose you could use an oil can to remedy the situation - hence the 3 stars.

Pros
  • True to form, fit and function
Cons
  • Some flaws
