KAX Rear Lower Control Arm Kit for Tahoe Yukon Suburban 2007-2014

Our review of the KAX Rear Lower Control Arm kit finds it best suited for owners of late-model GM full-size SUVs who need a direct replacement for worn rear lower control arms. The bottom line: this two-piece kit delivers a beefy, OEM-compatible replacement that focuses on durability and straightforward installation, making it a solid value for DIYers and independent shops alike. It replaces the rear lower arms on compatible Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade and Suburban models and stands out because of its pre-oiled ball joints and corrosion-resistant electrocoat finish.

Key Features

• Vehicle compatibility: Fits Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade ESV/EXT, Suburban and Avalanche models from the listed years to ensure a direct replacement for common GM SUVs.
• Complete kit: Includes 2x rear lower control arms so both sides can be serviced together for balanced suspension performance and consistent handling.
• Construction quality: Made from high-quality steel with rubber bushings to reduce vibration and noise while retaining long-term strength.
• Pre-oiled joints: Ball joints arrive pre-oiled and the arms have an electrocoat finish to reduce initial break-in wear and resist rust in wet conditions.
• Plug-and-play fit: Designed for quick installation without modification or drilling, lowering labor time for competent DIY installers and mechanics.
• Durability testing: Shock, abrasion and fatigue tested to help ensure the parts stand up to road use over time.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2007-2014 Tahoe, Yukon, Yukon XL, Suburban 1500/2500 and 2007-2012 Avalanche who need a cost-effective, reliable replacement for worn rear lower control arms. It is also a good choice for independent shops and experienced DIYers who prefer replacing both sides with matching components to restore balanced suspension geometry.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who require exact OEM-sourced parts for warranty or original-equipment certification, or shops that demand parts with an extensive documented lifetime warranty. If you need front control arms or other suspension components, this rear-arm kit will not cover those items.
