IRONTREE Front Upper Control Arms w/ Ball Joints — 2pc Left & Right Kit, Pre-Assembled for 2007–2016 GM Trucks

IRONTREE K80669 (left) and K80670 (right) are a pair of pre-assembled front upper control arms with integrated ball joints engineered as direct replacements for compatible 2007–2016 GM full-size trucks and SUVs.

This two-piece kit includes one driver-side (K80669) and one passenger-side (K80670) upper control arm, each supplied with a factory-installed ball joint so you can restore steering geometry and front suspension stability without fabricating or swapping components. Designed by IRONTREE to meet form, fit and basic OE mounting points, the arms are finished with a corrosion-resistant coating and greased joints to simplify initial installation and early service life.

Which vehicles will these IRONTREE control arms fit?

These upper control arms are made for a range of GM full-size trucks and SUVs from the late 2000s to mid-2010s. Confirm model year and whether your vehicle used upper control arms with integrated ball joints before ordering to ensure compatibility.

• Chevrolet: Avalanche 2007–2013, Silverado 1500 2007–2015, Suburban 1500 2007–2014, Tahoe 2007–2016

• Includes K80669 (left/driver) and K80670 (right/passenger) control arms

How do these control arms affect handling and alignment?

Upper control arms locate the front wheels and help preserve proper camber and caster under load. Worn or loose arms can cause uneven tire wear, wandering steering, or abnormal noises; installing new pre-assembled arms restores factory geometry and reduces play in the suspension.

• Restores correct wheel camber and caster alignment range
• Reduces steering looseness caused by worn ball joints
• Helps prevent premature, uneven tire wear
• Pre-assembled ball joints save installation time and effort

What are the build and durability highlights of the IRONTREE kit?

IRONTREE manufactures these arms to mirror OE mounting points while using corrosion-resistant finishes and greased joints for improved initial durability. Each arm is function-tested before shipment and covered by a multi-year warranty, giving technicians and DIYers confidence in long-term performance.

• Constructed to meet OE-style form and mounting specifications
• Corrosion-resistant coating for longer service life
• Ball joints pre-greased to ease break-in and early maintenance
• Backed by a 3-year limited warranty from IRONTREE

How difficult is installation and what should I prepare?

These are direct-replacement, bolt-on control arms intended to simplify installation: no pressing ball joints or transferring hardware is required. Basic suspension tools and a proper torque wrench are recommended; alignment after replacement is required to ensure safe handling and even tire wear.

• Pre-assembled arms eliminate ball joint press work
• Includes left and right arms for a full axle refresh
• Expect 1–3 hours per side depending on experience and tools
• Professional wheel alignment required after installation

Who is this for: The IRONTREE K80669/K80670 kit is aimed at owners and mechanics of compatible Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac trucks and SUVs who need a reliable, cost-effective front suspension repair. It's suited to DIYers who want a straightforward swap without ball-joint pressing, independent repair shops replacing worn upper control arms, and fleet managers maintaining multiple late‑2000s to mid‑2010s GM full-size vehicles.
