Just nabbed some of these at the salvage yards for my 2001 Denali. Great fix, thanks for the write-up.
Just to share, when I went to pull the link/stopper at the junk yard, I noticed that it said RH/RR on it....for right-hand, right-rear. The truck was missing the driver's side rear door, as were the other three Tahoe/Burbs in that yard...the did all have passenger rear doors though.
Since I could not find another truck with the driver's rear door still attached, I went to a 2nd salvage yard, found one, removed it, paid more for it (not a Wrench-A-Part yard)and then getting in my truck compared the two parts and slapped my forehead...when you turn it over, on the bottom side, it says LH/LR on it.
Doh!
So yes, it's the same part for both sides...you just have to turn the part over and not be a moron like me.
