MOOG Front Right Upper Suspension Control Arm with Pre-Installed Ball Joint — Silverado 1500 Fit, Corrosion-Resistant

MOOG RK80670 is a complete front right upper suspension control arm with an integrated ball joint engineered to restore factory steering geometry and improve ride stability on compatible GM trucks and SUVs.

If your Silverado, Avalanche, Suburban or Escalade is showing signs of loose steering, uneven tire wear, or clunking from the front end, replacing the worn upper control arm with a direct-fit MOOG assembly can address the weak link. This OE-style unit arrives with the ball joint pre-installed and is made to endure road stresses while resisting corrosion, helping return handling precision and confidence behind the wheel.

How does this control arm help my truck’s handling?

The MOOG upper control arm locates the wheel hub and maintains proper suspension geometry under load, which is key to predictable steering and consistent tire contact. With a robust design and corrosion-resistant finish, it keeps alignment angles stable and reduces wandering or pull.

• Replaces worn arm to correct camber and caster drift
• Pre-installed ball joint ensures proper pivoting action
• Built to resist road salt and environmental corrosion
• Supports repeatable alignment for longer tire life

Will this part fit my vehicle model years?

This assembly is manufactured to fit a range of GM full-size trucks and SUVs; confirm fitment using your VIN or vehicle year/model before purchase. It’s a direct replacement for specific 2007–2016 Chevrolet and 2007–2014 Cadillac applications listed by MOOG.

• Compatible with Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2007–2016 variations as listed)
• Fits Chevy Avalanche and Suburban 1500 for listed years
• Also fits Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and EXT within specified years
• Direct-fit design for bolt-on installation, where applicable

What makes MOOG’s construction durable for everyday driving?

MOOG engineers control arms for strength under repetitive loading and harsh conditions. Material selection, reinforced welds and protective coatings combine to provide structural integrity and longer component life compared with some economy replacements.

• Heavy-gauge materials and robust ball joint design for load resistance
• Protective finish to slow corrosion from road salt and moisture
• Precision-manufactured mounting points for accurate alignment retention
• Tested to withstand routine driving stresses and rough roads

How straightforward is installation for a DIYer or technician?

Because the ball joint arrives preassembled in the arm, installation time is reduced and alignment-critical tolerances are preserved. Still, replace control arms in pairs when needed and have a post-install wheel alignment performed to ensure correct geometry.

• Pre-installed ball joint reduces assembly steps
• Direct-fit bolt locations match factory mounting points
• Recommend professional alignment after replacement
• Basic shop tools required; torque specs per factory manual

Who is this for? The MOOG RK80670 is aimed at owners and technicians of compatible Chevrolet and Cadillac trucks/SUVs who need a reliable, OE-style front right upper control arm and ball joint replacement. It’s a good choice if you want a durable, ready-to-install assembly that helps restore steering control and prolong tire life without fabricating or modifying mounting points.
