[withoutfear33]

have a 1995 chevy k1500 4x4 with a 6in lift..

i need a all new front end and was about to order off advance auto website and pick up tomorrow after work and install... what are the part numbers to what i need.. i need all ball joints and tie rod ends pitman ect ect.. i also need brake pads and rotors along with front wheel bearings. thanks for help in advanced. i just want to make sure im getting the right parts

i know MOOG is the best but i thought about going with TRW to save a lil money right now.. please help with the #s

The advance website will give you the correct part numbers through the vehicle lookup.

Take those moog part numbers and look them up on amazon if your not in a hurry to get them and can wait on shipping. You will save almost $200. You can probably find the other stuff your needing on there also....

 

[withoutfear33]

yeah but when i look up upper and lower ball joints there are different part numbers but yet the same brand.. and i need them pretty bad so im going to have to suck it up and replace them while weather is still decent

or rockauto to get factory stuff.

I only see one upper joint listed its K6292

As to the lowers you will have to check your truck to see if you have a stamped or forged lower control arm. We can guess for you, but we have a 50% chance of being wrong. For the stamped arms use K6477 for forged use K6509

Amazon could have the stuff to you in a couple of days, even if you pay a little extra for faster shipping you will still save a ton....

edit:

I checked my list (which has every front end wear part on it except bushings) and amazon is $228 cheaper than advance, so you could pay for next day shipping and still save...

Me? Here is my list, this is for my 98, but I think its the same 95+


Advance Amazon

Upper bj K6292 $42 84 $28 56

Lower bj K6477 $54 108 $38 76

Inner TR ES2836RL $53 106 $33 66

Outer TR ES2838RL $54 108 $38 76

TR sleeve ES2004S $18 36 $13 26

Pittman K6335 $58 $41

Idler K6447 $85 $48

Bracket K6722 $94 $62

Total $679 $451


crap it looks all pretty and spaced out in the editing window but gets all bunched up when posted. Anyways first price is advances, the second price for upper/lower joints and tie rods is doubled cause you need two. The third price is Amazon, and then doubled again. On the last three its just advance and amazon...

thanks man i finally found out what to order last night and checked the part numbers and ordered exaclty what you have minus the idle arm bracket.. do i need the bracket? i ordered the arm its self but should i order the bracket as well?

also i ended up going with MOOG for my 95 but i also have another truck thats lifted that needs a front end that the woman will drive through the winter. i dont want to spend alot on it so would TRW parts work okay.. like are they good quality parts and what not?

I have never used TRW parts. I guess as long as they have a lifetime warrenty the would be fine? Just becasue them and MOOG are owned by the same company dosent mean the quality if the parts is the same. I dont like to skimp on parts because you just wind up replacing them again eariler than if you had bought a good quality parts...

I was going to do the idler bracket just because my truck has 235k on it right now so my plan is to replace everything but the steering box when I have the $$$..
