Ball Joints and Sway Bar links

It is for a 4wd rig. Not for yours. So, you are backing away from the MOOG parts?

Can anyone clarify whether this is the right lower control arm for my 2012 LS 2WD Tahoe? The 4WD in the description is giving me pause

The easiest way to confirm the part number is to call your local GM dealer and give them your VIN, and ask them for the correct part number.

Another good method is to go to GMPartsDirect.com and enter your VIN. Then, in the search field, enter 'lower right control arm'.

I think so, unless the CK series is worthwhile versus OEM?

Thank you. Using that method, it appears the part that I linked is correct

EDIT
The dealer won't give me the part number, but they'll be happy to order it for me. LOL

Sway/stabilizer bar end links and bushings were easy to replace for me. The links took some time and effort to remove the nut but an easy task. I greased the new link spindle and bushings before reinstallation(unsure if it helps but may reduce squeaks and wear). 1 of my links was completely broken, huge ride quality and steering difference. I used acdelco on my ppv.

Also here to share my experience with rockauto. After years of ordering w/out issue I was eventually getting bad parts or open or used or wrong parts or swapped brands for oem i no longer support them and will initially pay more to buy elsewhere. They no longer take phone calls and you will pay return shipping for everything even when they send you bad/wrong equipment Not worth the initial savings for me as itll end up costing more.
Plenty of cool magnets on my fridge though.

You may want to leave any plastic wrapped bushings sealed. This is the only original not split or warped bad. I had just removed it before this pic

I'm so jealous of you guys with the 2WD's.

Well I pulled the trigger on the 20869201/2 GM Control Arms, 2 GM inner/outer tie rods, and Moog Sway Bar links

All from RA. Fingers crossed

Lousy dealer, but I understand. Good luck with your project, and please report back your results.

Are you saying the lower control arms are the same left and right? Look at the pics of this arm at the RA site. They look different to me, left and right. Just sayin'.
