Product Details

This Dorman 533-282 ball joint is built for front upper alignment correction where caster and camber adjustment is needed. It is a steel, standard replacement suspension component with a 1-degree adjustment range, making it a practical choice for restoring alignment settings on vehicles such as the 1990-1997 Honda Accord, 1992-2001 Honda Prelude, and 1995-1998 Acura TL. The design includes a dust boot and cotter pin hole for secure installation details commonly required in suspension service. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K90490 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Address

• Front-end alignment that cannot be brought back into specification
• Caster or camber settings outside the desired range after suspension service
