Oh ok gotcha. Yeah the guy at the store asked at first then said they were the same so he couldn't figure out the difference. I just bought the ones that Amazon said would fit my Tahoe and they're on the way. Once I get them in I'll drop it off. It's gonna end up costing me about 305 for all four done with all moog parts.

I have my fingers crossed. Amazon lets you outbid your options before ordering so these came up with 4x4 selected. We will see.

Just picked it up. No more clunking. I love it. It's been that way for years. Every shop I called wanted about $1000 to do all four and he did it for $200 plus the $140 I paid for parts and he had to grind off the rivets so I know he spent some time on them. He also said my drivers side tie rod end is shot so I just ordered two outers. They look super easy to do so I'll knock that out. Then I'll slap in the new compressor and take it to get charged. Then off to get an alignment. I'm also hearing a clunk clunk clunk coming from the middle to rear when coming to a stop.
