Default Upper left front control arm

Which of these brand is closest to OEM quality for Upper left front control arm for a 1998 Honda accord v6 Coupe?

- Beck/Arnley
- Moog
- Dorman
- Karyln
- Mevotech

Please recommend! So far I'm learning towards Karyln, it seems like a good reasonable price. I need to know so I can order these parts from importrp and have them replaced on my car next week.

Have you tried going to a junk yard to pick up a new one? it'd be way cheaper. I'd sell you my old one but that was the side that's messed up, I have a front right control arm if you need that. Personally, when I had to replace my lower control arm, I didn't bother getting a new one, I just went on forums to see if anyone was parting out their old one that seemed in good condition. It might be cheaper in the long run.

No one has used Karyln before? They are listed on almost every parts web site.

Can you check if the ball joint that came with the Dorman is Moog?
