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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Safety issue with ball joint slipping while driving

Beck Arnley brand based on positive feedback Bought 5/8/18, front end components installed and front end aligned at 131,162 miles. 8/9/19 over a year old with 145,242 miles driven with them alone over 14,080 miles. I heard a loud bang, felt a tire burst, sparks of metal on the road, couldn't steer but luckily slid to the side of the road. The front driver's wheel buckled, the constant velocity joint burst, the ball joint jumped out of the bushing that was still connected. No external signs of wear on the boots upon visual inspection by a Honda dealer on 7/24/2019 during a multi-point inspection conducted for the 2nd airbag recall. I was stuck from 10pm to 1am waiting for AAA to tow my car home. Luckily I was only driving about 45 km/h. I would not recommend this Beck/Arley brand stamped 555 to anyone for safety reasons. My original Honda ball joints are over 10 years later than me versus 1 year. I understand why people say buy genuine Honda parts. I wouldn't recommend engine mounts for a 2006 Honda either. You were 100% ripped off.

Pros
  • Coated or electroplated for corrosion protection
Cons
  • Replacement available
