I'm wondering if anyone has replaced their rear control arms with stock type parts?
My '02 yukon denali has 135,000 and wondering if I would notice a difference in handling and ride.

I replaced mine and it tightened the truck up. Also with new bushings squeaks went away as well.

I replaced my rear upper and lower control arms with Spohn. Not necessarily stock parts as they are fully adjustable, however they are a direct fit replacement and bolt right in. I did mine when I lowered my Tahoe so there were a lot of changes taking place at the time. For sure handles WAY better being low and with the upgraded rear control arms. I have the del-sphere ends on mine. Can be a bit pricy I got lucky and got a screaming deal from a friend of mine who had purchased them about a month prior and had his NBS Tahoe stolen. Sold them to me and ended up getting a new Silverado.

I was just thinking about replacing mine, im sitting on a 2/3 spindle drop and have completely rebuild the front end, the only thing left are the rear arms

Same here, 2/3 drop and replaced mine with factory replacements. Mine bushings were completely shot!

Bushings are huge, and make sure you use Urethane. It's like getting a new truck. It's a PITA to do, but it really tightens the truck up. My last Yuko, may it RIP, it had the Nivomat, which I loved, never goofed with the trailing arms because the bushings made a huge difference.
