Firm up a loose, clunking front end with the SKP Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (MPN SMS501234). This front left upper unit pairs the control arm with a pre-installed ball joint, so the arm, bushings, and steering pivot go in as one bolt-in assembly. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2015-2020 Cadillac Escalade, 2015-2020 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2014-2016 Chevrolet Cheyenne, 2014-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LD, 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, 2015-2020 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2014-2019 GMC Sierra 1500, 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited, 2015-2020 GMC Yukon, and 2015-2020 GMC Yukon XL — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can be signs the original control arm bushings or ball joint may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
