Review on Dorman 521 872 Suspension Control Select by Ryan Frawley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Inexpensive repair of defective Honda Civics 8th generation

They look solidly built. And they're inexpensive. I hope they fix the excessive negative camber on my daughter's 2006 Honda Civic that was cursed by Honda's originally poorly designed control arms. (Unfortunately, I thought the tires on this used car were severely bent and flat due to poor maintenance. I was not aware of this defect.) After reading various reports online that Honda's control arm replacement had not corrected the sufficiently negative camber. I chose this one. They cost $180 less than a Honda repair kit and my mechanic agreed to only install and charge for 1 hour of labor. He and the man who tuned and tuned the car after the fact were shocked at how bad the camber was with the original parts.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
