    Upper ball joint bolt holes dont line up

    This, right here. Yes. Update: today I installed another brand successfully. I think they were “quick silver” ? But they fit. The protection boot didn’t click into place on the ball joint, but it’s full of grease now, so no water should enter. For those searching this topic in the future...

    Upper ball joint bolt holes dont line up

    Hey, I’ve never seen a Tahoe obs with anything other than the diesels. In person. Older ones have the 6.2L with mechanical diesel pump. And the ones most common here are the 6.5TD ones. Probably because gas is more expensive here. Or it used to. Now gas and diesel are equally expensive.

    Upper ball joint bolt holes dont line up

    I don’t know if mine has the F44 option. But it has the L480e. It’s an LT if that matters. Are we sure the difference between upper ball joints is 6lugs vs 8lugs ? Because mine is 6lugs as I mentioned, and when I search diesel I find one part number, and gas gives another part number for the...

    Upper ball joint bolt holes dont line up

    Thank you good sir. Ah, after some clicking around. I think I understand. If I change vehicle to v8 5.7 I find B6292. Should I just gamble and order those, even though mine is a diesel. So we learned something at least. There are two different bolt on upper ball joints. Never knew.

    Upper ball joint bolt holes dont line up

    Thanks both for suggestion. I have tried mounting it underside. I wondered the same. But alas, only the front bolts line up. Funny because the lower ball joint’s come in 3 different sizes. So I evaluated them good before ordering. But no info on the upper ball joint being different. Mine is a...

    Upper ball joint bolt holes dont line up

    I see. That was my worry. It is actually a Tahoe 6.5td, but I think you might be right about 6lug vs 8lug. Can someone help me find the right part. Chevrolet Tahoe 2door. 4wd. 6.5td. 1997. Input those in rockauto and this part shows compatibility. But obviously not. Its was cheap, I can use...
