Aeagle Front Upper Control Arms w/ Ball Joints — Forged Steel Replacement Kit for GM 2007–2016, Pre-Greased

Aeagle front upper control arms with integrated ball joints are a forged-steel replacement kit designed to restore steering geometry and suspension performance on specified GM trucks and SUVs from 2007–2016.

These front upper control arms (left and passenger assemblies) ship pre-greased and are engineered as direct-fit forged-steel replacements for OE stamped or aluminum arms on compatible GM models. The kit replaces part numbers K80669/K80670 (also referenced as 15096197 and 15096198) and fits a range of Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe and GMC Sierra/Yukon 1500 model years listed below. Because these arms are forged steel, they are not compatible with vehicles originally equipped with aluminum or stamped-steel control arms; please confirm your vehicle's original arm material before purchasing.

Will these control arms fit my Escalade, Silverado or Sierra?

Check model year and original arm construction to ensure compatibility: this kit fits Escalade 2007–2017 (ESV/EXT 2007–2014), Chevrolet Avalanche and Silverado 1500 2007–2013, Silverado 1500 2014–2016, Suburban 1500 2007–2014, Tahoe 2007–2016, and GMC Sierra/Yukon 1500 2007–2014. They only fit vehicles that originally used forged-steel upper control arms—not aluminum or stamped-steel variants.

• Replaces part numbers K80669/K80670 and 15096197/15096198
• Fits specific GM full-size truck and SUV years listed above
• Not compatible with aluminum or stamped-steel original arms

What comes in the kit and how is it prepared?

The kit contains two front upper control arm assemblies with integrated ball joints—one driver side (left) and one passenger side. Each assembly arrives pre-greased and ready for installation, reducing prep time for the technician.

• 1 x Front left upper control arm with ball joint assembly
• 1 x Front upper passenger side control arm with ball joint assembly
• Pre-greased ball joints and factory-like bushings for immediate installation

How should these control arms be installed and maintained?

Installation requires professional suspension tools and alignment equipment; have a certified mechanic perform the swap to ensure correct torque, suspension geometry and wheel alignment. After installation, a wheel alignment is required to restore proper handling and tire wear.

• Professional installation strongly recommended
• Perform full wheel alignment after installation
• Inspect torque settings and suspension components during service

What kind of quality assurance and warranty is offered?

Aeagle tests each control arm assembly before shipping and backs the kit with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. The forged-steel construction provides durable replacement hardware, but any warranty work should follow the outlined return and inspection procedures.

• Pre-shipment testing for fit and function
• 12-month limited warranty on manufacturing defects
• Customer support available for fitment questions and claims

Who is this for: This Aeagle forged-steel front upper control arm kit is intended for owners and professional installers servicing 2007–2016 GM full-size trucks and SUVs that originally used forged-steel upper arms. Choose this kit if you need OE-style replacement arms with integrated ball joints, prefer pre-greased assemblies to reduce install prep, and require a tested part backed by a 12-month warranty. If your vehicle came with aluminum or stamped-steel upper arms, do not use this kit—verify your original components before ordering.
