Great replacement part

Fantastic replacement part for a low price, my OEM was worn and one was slightly bent. They arrived promptly with bushings already installed, repair was quick and easy.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Will not fit all

Works as intended

This part works as intended on my 2003 Tahoe. I swapped out the upper and lower trailing arms and used a Dorman replacement on each. The fresh bushings really helped clean up the rear end and replacing the entire arm is easier and cheaper than replacing the bushings on the arms. If you don't need heavy duty adjustable arms and want an OEM replacement, this is for you. Dorman is as good as OEM or even better.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Functionality

Perfect for my 2002 Chevy Avalanche 1500

Perfect for my 2002 Chevy Avalanche 1500. Bushing and loose bolt) on the rear end of the wishbone. Removing the old lever was difficult due to the location of the screws and poor workmanship, but I imagine most users will find the installation easy. Great product quality and great price from Revain. FYI: The truck does NOT need to be jacked up to swap out this control arm. Tires do not need to be removed.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Long delivery time

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…

Pros
  • Nice design
Cons
  • -
