works like a charm for control levers

These wishbones are ok, had some trouble aligning them properly. I greased them but they still wouldn't go. My trick to getting it in the slots was that I took an adjustable wrench and made it wide enough to fit in one of the slots and bent and widened everything a bit to fit in the control arm. It worked like a charm.

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Quality

Control Lever Dorman 520-169

I am very glad that I chose this product over the internet. My husband went to several places to purchase this item and they wanted a lot more than what we had to pay Dorman. Good product. It was put on the car and we no longer have that dent in the front of the car. I recommend this control arm to help people fix their car and will be ordering more Dorman products. You're Marvellous! I'll give you 6 stars if it were there.

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Secret

Hit or miss good for shock absorbers, struts and suspension

I bought the driver's side and couldn't be happier, it smelled new, very well finished. The ball joint had a grease bush and could be lubricated several times. Anyway, having bought the passenger side, it's obvious that it has been restored, due to the abrasion marks and the fact that they didn't even take the time to clean it of grease and dirt. Now none of this would bother me, but they put a cheap ball joint on it that didn't have a grease ring, so after the grease ran out, the arm was no…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad but...
