Front Lower Control Arm Set for 2014-17 Silverado Sierra - Direct Fit

In this review the reviewer looks at a direct-replace, two-piece front lower control arm set designed for late-model GM half-ton trucks and SUVs. The bottom line: this kit is for owners who need an OE-style suspension replacement that matches factory geometry and arrives as a ready-to-install pair. The reviewer found the set delivers predictable steering and suspension alignment when fitted to compatible vehicles and highlights the convenience of receiving both driver and passenger side arms with integrated ball joints.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The arms are built to match factory mounting points so installation follows OE geometry and reduces the need for additional modifications.
• OE Replacement Kit: Supplied as a two-piece control arm set that replaces worn components and restores proper suspension behavior on compatible models.
• Complete Kit: Includes both front driver and front passenger lower control arms with preinstalled ball joints so both sides can be serviced together.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: The listing calls out fitment for Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac models so buyers can check compatibility before purchase to ensure correct application.
• Reference Numbers: Uses OE and aftermarket reference numbers such as 22853473 and 22853474 which helps confirm part interchangeability.

Who It's For

This set is aimed at owners of 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks, and compatible Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, Yukon and Yukon XL models who need a straightforward OE-style repair. A mechanic or experienced DIYer who wants to replace both lower arms and ball joints in one job will appreciate the convenience of the matched pair.

It is not the right choice for vehicles outside the specified fitment or for owners who need performance-tuned suspension components. Buyers with non-aluminum control arms, police package RPO Z56 equipped vehicles, or models outside the listed years should verify fitment or seek a different part.

• Both driver and passenger arms come with ball joints installed, saving time during replacement.
