Do your ball joints have the integrated boot or standard type boot?

I'm rebuilding the front end on our 07 Denali (186k miles) sometime this yr, so I've purchased (amazon):

2 MOOG K100026 Caster/Camber Adjusting Kits- $54 pr

2 Dorman 917-517 Front Wheel Hub Bolt 3 Pack - $30 pr

Front Suspension Sway Bar Links - $25 pr

Detroit Axle - a pair of Front Upper Control Arms w/Ball Joint and bushings - $74 pr

Detroit Axle - Front Aluminum Left & Right Side Lower Control Arms with Ball Joints and bushings - $306 pr

Detroit Axle - Left & Right Front Inner and Outer Tie Rods w/Boots - $53 pr

Detroit Axle - Both sides Front CV Axles & Wheel Hub Bearings - $286 pr

I have 175K on the 2013 Denali, is it worth doing the hubs and axles?

Is your 2007 Denali AWD? I think all Denalis are, just making sure.

No kits are worth a damn. If you want the Denali to ride like it did off the showroom floor there is but one option, GM OE. A distant second is ACDelco Professional/Gold which in control arms is the same as Moog CK Series, literally the same. Many like Kryptonite and Mevotech but I have no empirical data on how well their parts ride and last.

Upper and Lower Control Arms, Front struts piece by piece, inner and outer tire rods, sway bar bushings and end links front and rear, rear air shocks and the compressor for your truck if it's wore out. Many of the nuts and bolts and alignment parts must be replaced or ought to be replaced, especially if you live where they salt the roads.

If you are interested in the GM OE stuff I can give you the part numbers tomorrow.

Yes, please post the list and where to get it.

Post your 6XX and 7XX codes from your RPO sheet when you can. Also, do you have aluminum, stamped steel or forged upper control arms?

I pieced together everything from rockauto. I went with OEM stuff. My avalanche has 225k miles and everything is original. I figured if the oem stuff lasted that long, it's worth the minor cost difference. I haven't installed any of it yet l, but hopefully I'll get on it in the next couple of months.

Might as well do everything now so that you don’t have to crack it open for another 100k

All Denali‘s in 2007 and 2008 were all-wheel-drive, but later models offered 2 wheel drive. also.

In my opinion, the axles will outlast the hubs and they are pretty obvious when they’re starting to go when the boot tears. The hubs on the other hand can be very very subtle.

I thought the RWD versions came out in 2008?

Maybe so!

OEM only! The original stuff lasted 10 years, there’s no reason to choose anything else. All the aftermarket replacement stuff is cheaper for a reason, it doesn’t last. The OE parts also have a lifetime warranty
