Help keep your ride smooth and your steering steady with the Dorman - OE Solutions Control Arm with Ball Joint 520-641, a 1986-1989 Honda Accord control arm for the front left upper position. It installs as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 1986-1989 Honda Accord. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
This Dorman control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame. It lets the wheel move up and down with the suspension while holding it in position. Dorman runs it through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Trustworthy replacement: directly replaces the original assembly on the listed applications.
- Ready to install: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, saving time and labor.
- Quality engineering: went through industry-leading testing intended to deliver a smooth, stable and safe ride.
- Durably designed: additional coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance.
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering and uneven tire wear are signs this part may need replacing. If a worn ball joint or bushing in the original arm is the cause, this assembly replaces them. We recommend replacing the front upper arms on both sides at the same time.
