Re: Lower control arms

I just had a lower ball joint break and went though an ordeal getting it fixed. First, I bought new ball joints (wanted to change them all) but the lowers were too small to fit the hole in the lower arm. Tried buying new lower arms. No body had them. Bought a set from NAPA but they were misidentified. They fit a C20 truck which seems to be a industry wide problem. Several Internet sources say they have ordered lowers and got C20 parts. I think LMC has correct repo parts - we were about to go that route.

Finally fixed mine with some over-sized ball joints my front end shop ordered from NAPA CHASSIS. They came from somewhere in California.

Part number off the box is 260-11180S and
the bar code number is 7 57522 43149 1
I'm not sure if the leading 7 or ending 1 is part of the number.

Good luck
