KRGUOD Front Upper Control Arms with Preinstalled Ball Joints for 2007–2016 GM 1500 Trucks & SUVs — Left & Right Pair

KRGUOD front upper driver and passenger control arms with preinstalled ball joints replace worn suspension components to restore steering control and ride stability on compatible 2007–2016 GM 1500 trucks and SUVs.

These two upper control arms (left and right) come assembled with ball joints and are engineered as direct-fit replacements for a range of GM vehicles, including Chevrolet Silverado and Tahoe, GMC Sierra and Yukon, Cadillac Escalade and related platforms. Each arm is manufactured to match OE mounting points and geometry so installation is straightforward for technicians and experienced DIYers. The kit replaces factory part numbers K80669, K80670, 15096197, and 15096198.

How will this control arm kit affect steering and handling?

Installing new upper control arms and ball joints returns proper suspension geometry and reduces play in the front end, which tightens steering response and minimizes wandering. Drivers will notice improved tracking at highway speeds and more predictable behavior over bumps.

• Restores factory alignment geometry for improved steering accuracy.
• Reduces uneven tire wear caused by worn bushings or joints.
• Included ball joints eliminate the need to press out old joints separately.
• Direct-fit design keeps caster and camber within expected ranges when installed correctly.
