Which lower is that?

I thought all lower arms fit all knuckles?

Mevotech CTXMS501184. It’s their aluminum arm with the TTX ball joint. Part number states it fits 14-18 Silverado/Sierras, 15-20 Yukon/tahoe/Esky.

Looking at Marky D's post...looks like you may need the steel lower arms (If you go 14-18 parts)

I have been wondering if a complete later model swap will work (knuckles/arms/tie rod ends)

Is there a part # on the LCA?

# 25788111 shows it fits all 07-14 full size SUV here …


Reverse checking 2011 Silverado Alum LCA comes back to Mevotech# CMS501003 or vs # CTXMS501184 this …

Does GM have another trick up their sleeve for an aluminum LCA / knuckle combo with a different diameter & pitch for 15-20 trucks?

Here’s Mevotech catalog for a 2010 Tahoe 4WD LT … adjust as needed …

I wonder if I can just replace the ball joints with ones for “Steel arms”.

No you can not just for the sole reason that would be entirely too easy compared to all the other hoops GM is making us jump through. :mad:

Moog (Mevotech) has an online Q&A section on their parts compatibility catalog. It’s usually a 24 hr turn around time when respond back.

If you do inquire be sure to include their part #’s and specifically ask if the ball joints between part #ABC and #123 are cross compatible.

If they’re not, what parts are for my 69 Camaro kinda language or you’ll get … sorry, need more info
