07 Avalanche, Aluminum Lower A Control arms to Steel arms?
Anyone know the compatability of the newer GM trucks and lower control arms?
I have a 07 Avalanche with bad lower ball joints, which requires a complete new lower control arm to get the new ball joint Do the 08 and up chevy 4x4's has cast or aluminum lower A Arms? I was wondering if i could swap them out for a set of cast iron Lower arms, or some sort of lower control arm with a replacable ball joint. maybe aftermarket??? the Avalanche has struts and coil springs. thanks if you have done this before |

Do your originals have grease fittings? Usually the Moog replacements will have a grease fitting which will greatly extend the life. I was looking at Oreilly's site and they list an aluminum and a steel lower arm.
