Definitely interested in hearing results. I need to go through mine at some point but I don't even know where to start lol

Yes, they seem to be sealed. At least, I can’t seem to peel boot away.

Awesome, I'll probably us them next time, then. Thanks for checking.

I like the rubber seals rather than the foam.

The last Moog pitman and idler arms that I bought had foam as well. They’ve sort of disintegrated and turned to mush within a few months. Delco pro seems to use a rubber seal as well.

This is a great video if you got time.

Yeah, no TTX control arms for K1500/2500/3500. For upper you can just get any decent brand and swap in a TTX ball joint. The ones that are in it are for shipping purposes only! Lol

Why not just put the TTX in the original arms, and get new bushings? Were the ball joints held in with bolts on the new arms, or rivets? Assuming rivets, it still seems like a lot of work, just to get new bushings in imported arms.

I’m so busy at work, it was cheaper to buy new UCA’s. Also, it’s my daily driver. Mine
were riveted and drilled out like butter. I’ve never swapped the bushings and heard that’s a PIA.

Proforged idler and pitman arrived today. Both are forged and look good.

I can’t remember which one it’s called, but the splined arm that goes to the gearbox, I’d like to know if it sits all the way on the gear. I bought a moog and it did not sit all the way down.

I’ll keep you posted, but it’s the pitman arm. On a side note I stripped my steel wheels this past weekend and painted.

That's something I want to do this summer. I'm tired of my rims looking awful and/or mismatched.
