I have a front subframe that uses C5/C6 control arms. I’m going to replace the ball joints. I found the GM uppers but am having trouble with the lowers. Rock auto and every other online parts supplier recommends the ACDelco 45D2339 so I ordered a set. My original joints measure 1.921” and the Delco measures 1.933”. Way too much interference for any press fit I’ve ever felt with.
GM deems the ball joints as non serviceable. I called my local GM dealer and they can’t find a GM part number for the ball joint by itself, they want to sell a new control arm with joints and bushings.
Id like to figure out something that works before I order something else that won’t fit. So if anyone had suggestions, I’d appreciate the input.
