Detailed Description

This suspension control arm assembly is built to match the original layout used on the Honda Insight front suspension. The aluminum casting/forged arm, rubber bushings, and pre-installed ball joint help restore proper suspension geometry and steering response. Dorman 522-516 is a practical OE-style replacement for drivers servicing a 2000-2006 Honda Insight, front right lower position, when the original arm shows wear, looseness, or corrosion.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-7609 and Delphi TC7215 for the same application. It also aligns with other listed interchange references for the Honda Insight platform, including Dorman 522-516 as the direct replacement part number.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end clunking or knocking from worn suspension joints
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension play
• Directional instability during braking or cornering
• Ride quality issues from deteriorated bushings or ball joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this assembly in the front right lower position on compatible Honda Insight models. Because the ball joint is installed and the unit is pre-greased, it is ready for suspension service once the old component is removed and the mounting points are inspected. Verify alignment after installation, and confirm all fasteners are torqued to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process to verify fit, function, and suspension performance characteristics. That process helps ensure the replacement arm supports the ride quality, stability, and handling behavior expected from the original equipment design.
