After fighting the riveted-in lower balljoints on my 1993 K1500 RCSB I decided to chalk it up as a loss and I’m currently in need of new control arms (we ended up heating the rivets up too much and melting the control arm).
I realize no one sells replacement lower control arms for our trucks, it seems some have used the cast/stamped lower control arms off the 96-2000 K2500’s with the press-in style balljoint but I was hoping someone could confirm this will work on a K1500. I’ll have to order a different set of lower balljoints but at this point it would be much better than dealing with these rivets again.
Did some 1500’s have casted/forged LCA’s or was this a K2500 and suburban thing only? The info I have found doesn’t specify this, or is a bit confusing. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
