Lower control arms forged or welded?
Hi All,
Went to buy lower ball joints for the truck today. Went to Napa and they asked me if my lower control arms were welded or forged? I didn’t know so I checked somewhere else thinking it was a strange question to ask. I went to PepBoys and their computer asked the same thing.
My truck is a 1999 Chevy Suburban K2500 with torsion bar front end.
If I had to guess I would say with torsion bars the lower control arms are probably forged.
Anyone know for sure or how to tell?
Thanks,
Art.
