Front Right Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint for 2004-2008 Acura TSX

In this review the focus is on the Front Right Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint, a direct fit replacement for the passenger side of 2004-2008 Acura TSX and 2003-2007 Honda Accord. The bottom line: this OE replacement assembly is for DIYers and independent shops that need a straightforward, vehicle-specific suspension part that matches original fitment. It stands out for being a complete control arm and press-in ball joint assembly that replaces worn or damaged upper suspension components without the need to mix and match parts.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match OE geometry so installation aligns with factory suspension points and reduces the need for additional adjustments.
• Complete Assembly: Ships as a control arm with an integrated ball joint so buyers get both components at once, simplifying repair work.
• Vehicle Specific: Built for 2004-2008 Acura TSX and 2003-2007 Honda Accord passenger front upper positions to minimize fitment guesswork.
• Steel Construction: The control arm uses steel material for durability and resistance to road wear compared with lighter, weaker alternatives.
• Included Bushings: Comes with bushings installed to restore suspension alignment and reduce drivetrain noise from worn mounts.
• OE Reference Compatibility: Cross-referenced to several OE numbers so installers can confirm match with original parts.

Who It's For

This part is best for Honda and Acura owners, mobile mechanics, and independent shops that need an exact replacement for a failing front passenger upper control arm and ball joint. It works well for someone comfortable with suspension removal and alignment checks and who wants the convenience of a combined assembly.

It is less suited to people looking for a rebuildable, fully greaseable ball joint or those who need adjustable arms for custom suspension tuning. If you require an adjustable or greaseable aftermarket performance arm, consider a purpose-built performance unit instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct fit saves time and simplifies installation when replacing the passenger upper control arm.
• Complete assembly includes bushings and ball joint for a one-part repair solution.
• Steel construction and OE cross references provide a practical, durable replacement at a lower cost than dealership parts.

Cons

• Ball joint is press-in and non-greaseable, which limits long-term serviceability compared with greaseable units.

Specifications
