MOOG Front Left Upper Control Arm with Integrated Ball Joint for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 — Pre-assembled, Corrosion-Resistant

MOOG RK80669 is a complete front left upper suspension control arm with integrated ball joint engineered to restore alignment and handling on compatible Chevrolet and Cadillac full-size trucks and SUVs.

This ready-to-install assembly replaces a worn upper control arm and ball joint with a component built for structural strength and long-term corrosion protection. MOOG designs this part to match OE mounting points and suspension geometry so wheel alignment, steering response, and vehicle stability are easier to maintain after service. The assembly is pre-assembled and pre-greased where applicable to simplify installation for professional mechanics and experienced DIYers.

Which vehicles will this control arm fit?

This RK80669 assembly is engineered to fit a range of late-2000s and early-2010s GM full-size trucks and SUVs. Confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s year, make, model, and side before ordering to ensure correct fitment and mounting orientation.

• 2007–2014 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV
• 2007–2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT
• 2007–2013 Chevrolet Avalanche
• 2007–2013 and 2014–2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
• 2007–2014 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

How does this assembly help restore ride quality?

The control arm positions the wheel hub relative to the chassis, while the ball joint provides a pivot point for steering and suspension travel. Replacing a worn or damaged control arm and ball joint helps eliminate play, reduces uneven tire wear, and improves steering precision without requiring multiple separate parts.

• Restores factory suspension geometry for better handling
• Reduces steering wander and increases responsiveness
• Helps even out tire wear when aligned after installation

What materials and manufacturing features improve durability?

MOOG builds this assembly to resist the stresses of daily driving and harsh road conditions through reinforced metal construction and corrosion-resistant finishes. The design emphasizes strength around mounting points and the ball joint to withstand load cycles and reduce premature fatigue.

• Reinforced arm construction for structural rigidity
• Protective coatings to limit rust and corrosion
• Durable ball joint design for extended service life

How easy is installation and what should I expect during service?

The control arm arrives pre-assembled to simplify replacement, which minimizes bench work and allows faster reinstallation on the vehicle. Professional alignment is recommended after replacement to ensure proper camber and toe settings and to maximize the life of the new component and the tires.

• Pre-assembled with ball joint for quicker swap-out
• Compatible with factory mounting points—no modification required
• Wheel alignment recommended after installation for optimal results

Who is this for: This MOOG RK80669 assembly is intended for technicians, repair shops, and competent DIY mechanics maintaining late-model Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Avalanche, Suburban, and Cadillac Escalade platforms who need a robust, OE-style replacement. Choose this part when the upper control arm or ball joint shows excessive play, torn boots, abnormal tire wear, or when steering feels loose; pairing the replacement with a professional alignment delivers the best long-term performance.
