Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Dorman 521-351 Front Left Lower Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly: Optimized for Various Honda Odyssey Models by Nate Nelson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Ball joint failed less than 6000 km

Seemed to be of high quality and a perfect fit for my 2000 Honda Odyssey EX but after less than a year and 6000 km the ball joint is badly worn. The dust cover was perfectly intact, but the grease inside was like dry dirt. It is suspected that poor quality grease was used and the ball joint on this arm is not lubricated. Replaced the ball joint today with a Moog K90359 (grease fitting included) using a press kit you can borrow from Pep Boys. It may be better to replace the bushings and ball joint on the original control arm than to purchase this assembly.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Dull packaging
