thanks Matt!

Finally, a fellow 2015 Denali owner!! Thank you so much for sharing that video. I think I will go ahead and replace my cam bolts as well, but is that ball joint permanently pressed in that upper control arm or can you press it out? I also have to do the lower ball joints and am told those can be pressed out. Thanks again!!

[@JeffLyle]

Yes you can press out both the upper and lower ball joints! That will save you some money for sure. Sometimes I get a little lazy though.

@@JeffLyle ok, I wasn’t sure because seems like most people replace the upper control arms as well. Not to mention just the upper ball joints are few and far between. Thanks again!!

@@cwsosby I just did a little more digging on this. It looks like you may be right. I can only find ball joints for the uppers if the arms are steel. The ball joints in the aluminum arms don't appear to be replaceable. If you happen to find something different, let me know.

[@cwsosby]

@@JeffLyle Ah, that makes sense. I appreciate you letting me know as I was getting discouraged. I’m thinking Mevotech’s TTX for uppers here and I would like to do OE original for lowers but think a special tool is required to flare the top of that ball joint. I do know they don’t have a retaining clip, but maybe it’s not necessary 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Did your suspension made a popping noise when turning?

[@JeffLyle]

yes it popped when I made tight turns
