🔧 ACDelco Professional Front Upper Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly 45D1083, Black Review

Item arrived on time, fast shipping. The item is perfectly assembled. Can't be sure if this is actually an AC Delco part as it came in plain boxes.

I've worn them on the H2 for about 6 months, the ball joints play a lot and the dust bags are rubbish. H2 traveled only in the city. No terrain.

DO NOT BUY. Poor quality junk ball joint. Too much straying at the point where the metal ring intersects the rubber boot at the junction. Rubber sleeve left and right defective after 1500 km. After 15 months 25,000 miles the driver's side control lever bushings were worn out. 98% of trips on the Autobahn. After 18 months, the right transverse arm silent blocks failed.

I liked the control levers. I bought them for a friend. He hasn't installed it yet. My only concern is that I ordered two identical ones. But I think there should have been a choice between the right side and the left side. I don't know about controls. I asked my friend and they told me there is a difference. This is how I can return one of the controls. Otherwise the price is good, the delivery was on time and fast. I'm happy .

lasted 50,000. A completely worn ball joint would have had to be replaced at 40k, the bushings ripped immediately after installation. I've tried three of these cheap ones on the driver's side, the fourth is OEM GM. The OEM cost here at Revain is $149. The OEM is still on the passenger side with the 296K. I only replaced the driver's side because the alignment technique left the bolts loose and messing them up and has been a problem ever since.

Could be a spare part, but still Chinese scrap. Bought two and installed them on the car when I noticed the trunk had slipped off. Well I took it off to see if I could put it back on. In short, the cuff shouldn't come loose because a locking ring pushes down to hold it in place. It's a good thing they pressed semicircle. The worst part was looking inside the ball joint, it looks like they gave the Chinese a grinder to grind the inside instead of a machine tool. You just have to see it in person

Poor = 0 Stars: Please take all negative reviews for what they say! You are garbage! I struggled for hours to figure out why they wouldn't fit properly and cut the boot off when tightening them to spec. I was priced between Amazon and Rock Auto and never read the reviews until I started researching if other people were having the same issue and if I was missing something I missed ALL the negative reviews! Although GOOD = 3 stars: Revain contacted (after a few hours of my life and disappointment
