Front End Replacement Parts

[Cthom]

2015 Yukon XL Denali
I was told I need to replace front end on both sides. Reason is...when I tried to get an alignment they said they could not complete it cause of worn parts. Also both tires have excessive wear inside. Driver side wear is more than the passage side. What I need help with are the parts. What parts do I need to replace both front ends. I have an idea like control arms upper lower left right. But I would like an list so i can research and buy.

Did the shop that refused to do the alignment tell you anything other than you have worn parts?

They didn’t give you a quote for fixing it so they could align it?

If it was me, I’d do my own inspection and see where things are wiggling, jiggling and just broken.

For starters I would look at ball joints and tie rod ends. Might consider just replacing your upper and lower control arms so you get new bushings as well as ball joints.

Then I’d look at struts and check your wheel bearings for any play as well.

Sway bar links and bushings would be on the list to check and/or just replace also.

If you have a local repair shop (not a tire shop) that you 'trust', take the truck to them and get an honest assessment of what is required to get the front end up to spec. You did not specify the mileage on the truck, so it is difficult to make any accurate assessment on what you need. I will say that these suspension parts are typically good for about 100,000 miles, so if you are at or beyond that mileage, then part replacements are probably in order. You've received some great initial remote assessments from the Forum folks above.
