Review on ๐Ÿš— Dorman 521-970 Suspension Control Arm: Improved Performance for Select Models by Justin Vasquez

A few tips for the uninitiated :)

I didn't end up needing them, but I installed them anyway. The Yukon is 15 years old, so how much it costs probably doesn't matter. However, here are some tips for you: 1) If the existing arm moves, remove the nut (closer to the center of the car) and check if the hole is oval. Mine turned out to be oval, hence the slight tapping. 2) If the hole is round and you think your bushings are gone, lift the wheel off the ground and start replacing. First I tried without the lift and the new mount doesn't fit 3/16". Remember to tighten the nut (80lb/ft in my case) with the wheel on the ground. Oh, and if the hole is oval you can weld on a washer of the right size to secure it. You may need a longer bolt.

Pros
  • Nice design
