Hey Guys, haven't been around lately but am now in need of some expert advice. I have a 2002 Envoy SLT with 235,000 KM on it and it just failed inspection. I need both left and right rear upper control arms. Both are rusted and broken away from the frame end. While checking for parts I'm seeing 2 different parts for air ride and no air ride. Mine had air ride until the compressor died a few years back so I installed a set of coil springs.
The thing is the non-air ride arms look beefier than the air ride arms. Are these interchangeable? Can I use the non air ride (just coils now)? This is an old truck that I've owned for 15 years with no major problems and need it for another couple years before retirement. I just use it to get to work and back, about 2 miles round trip so I want to keep it roadworthy until then if I can.
Thank you for any advice on this matter. The old girl still works great after all these years...
