Titaniarm New 4PCS Suspension Parts Kits- Front Control Arm w/Ball Joint + Front Lower Ball Joint

Amazon and the product information said these were a fit for my truck, and the reviews seemed to indicate that they would work, but when they arrived it was immediately clear they were not correct. Size and shape did not match the OEM control arms at all, and the slots for the bumpers were not there. Not sure if I got a mixed up order or the seller does not know there are several different design variants of S10 for that year range. These might work for the 4x4 or ZR2 model, but not the base RWD. Return process was easy however, and the parts looked like good quality, so 3 stars overall.

07-01-2021FOR 4x4 Vehicles ONLY94-05 Chevy S10 and Blazer, GMC Sonoma and Jimmy, and Oldsmobile BravadaI only used the control arms with bushings on my 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada. Used a mallet to hammer them into position.I removed the upper ball joints with a chisel for metals and a hammer. Replaced it with Moog ball joints.Didn't use lower ball joints since I bought Moog's but they seem stronger than the upper ball joints that were on the control arms.Will update if any issues with control arms.

One of the lower ball joints went dangerously bad within 200 miles. Then the seller want me to disassemble the entire suspension and send it all back! And offered a miniscule discount if I'd order another. I had already sourced the replacement locally. The messaging was full of miscommunication due to a severe language barrier. Never again!

So far this project has been hampered only when I put the control arms up to install and found the bushings were not pressed in adequately which prevented the install. 11" outside width between bushings in order to fit my truck, came 11 1/4" would not pound in. Lots of wasted time and energy plus frustration then cost. I had to take them to a mechanic and have them pressed in to manage install. Took a half a day off from work to deal with it, so lost wages plus added $100 for mechanic to the project. So much for the deal on Amazon. Hidden cost of fixing what manufactures are too inept to understand. . Make your own call on this one.

Attempted to install for a customer against my better judgment and halfway through the install my instincts were right. I’ve been a ASE certified mechanic for over 21 years. I wouldn’t even rate these control arms with 1 Star if allowed. Bushings are too small diameter for control arm shaft and the ball joints threads are undersized and would not hold the proper torque spec without stripping the threads. Took them off and replaced with one oem parts. (Trashed) VERY UNSAFE DO NOT BUY.
