Perfect fit for my 2000 Chevy 1500 4x4

Bought for my 2000 Chevrolet 5.3L 1500 4x4. Hinge bolts are not included. The box is torn in the area of the ball joint and the nut is missing. I bought another one through Amazon from the same seller, there was a nut inside and the box was torn in the same place. Easy installation and perfect fit, although hardware has to be found that is not included (also not included anywhere)

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Don't buy this unless you're a champion with a grease gun.

Everything about this product would be great except for one major problem. Ball joints do not accept grease. Oooh, and after spending a few hours installing it, there might be a tiny hole in the ball joint boot. Since one of the boots REALLY had a hole, I was happy to fit three of them. Every time I tried to lubricate those ball joints, I had to spend hours spinning the wheels, lowering and raising the truck and controlling the levers, hitting with a hammer, changing mirrors and grease guns.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Secret

03 Silverado: Replacement Parts

A new control arm made repairs much quicker and I now have a rebuilt front end. Spare parts are no worse than the original and cheaper.

Pros
  • Engineered to be of the highest quality - passed the industry's best tests for a smooth, stable and safe ride
Cons
  • Concise instructions

Avoid! Terrible Terrible Ball Joints

AVOID! As another reviewer mentioned, I can't get the ball joints on this arm or the other arm on the opposite side to accept any sort of lube. I've tried swapping out the Zerk fittings, tried the 90* grease adapter, tried the needle injection adapter and nothing worked. I ended up messing up one grease gun and plugging the hose into another to try and get the ball joint to pick up the grease. I'm not the only one having these issues, a quick search shows other people are having the exact sameโ€ฆ

  • Make Sure This Part Fits Your Car Enter Make, Model And Fitment At Amazon Garage
