Keep the rear wheel properly located and the suspension pivoting as designed with the Dorman control arm with ball joint, part number 520-630. This rear right upper arm is built as a direct replacement for the original equipment. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1990-1997 Honda Accord, 1997-1999 Acura CL and 1995-1998 Acura TL.
