Restore precise steering and hold your front suspension geometry in check with the DORMAN control arm and ball joint assembly CB90498RD, a direct-fit replacement for the front right upper position on a range of hardworking GM full-size vans and trucks. It drops in on applications like the 1999-2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, the 2000 Chevrolet Suburban 2500, the 2003-2025 Chevrolet Express 2500 and GMC Savana 2500, and the 2009-2025 Chevrolet Express 4500 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of 12 covered vehicles.
This is part of Dorman's RD line, where the RD stands for "rugged duty" and the components are engineered for severe-duty service — off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other grueling conditions, including emergency vehicles that demand maximum dependability.
- Quenched and tempered steel housing: the ball joint housing uses quenched and tempered steel rather than simple normalized steel, finished with an exclusive protective coating for durability and corrosion resistance.
- Hardware included: the necessary mounting hardware is supplied and also carries a corrosion-resistant coating.
- Pre-loaded joints: where applicable, each joint is pre-loaded with premium grease in specially designed grease boots with molded-in standoffs to keep lubrication where it belongs.
- Built with experience: backed by a team of chassis product engineering and manufacturing experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.
The unit combines the control arm, its bushings and the pre-greased ball joint together, so a worn original causing clunks, loose steering or uneven tire wear can be replaced as one assembly on specified vehicles.
