MOOG Front Right Upper Control Arm with Ball Joint for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RK80670 — Pre-assembled, Corrosion-Resistant

MOOG RK80670 is a pre-assembled front right upper suspension control arm with integrated ball joint engineered to restore steering precision and support stable handling on compatible Chevrolet and Cadillac trucks and SUVs.

This OE-style replacement combines a robust control arm and a matched ball joint into a single unit to simplify installation and return your vehicle’s front suspension geometry to specification. Built for corrosion resistance and structural integrity, the assembly is designed to endure daily driving loads and help re-establish proper wheel alignment after worn components have degraded ride quality.

Which vehicles does this assembly fit?

RK80670 covers a range of GM trucks and SUVs across model years where the factory suspension used this upper right configuration. Confirm fitment by cross-referencing your VIN or vehicle year/model before purchase to ensure direct compatibility.

• 2007–2014 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV
• 2007–2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT
• 2007–2013 Chevrolet Avalanche
• 2007–2013 and 2014–2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
• 2007–2014 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

How does this control arm improve handling and steering response?

Replacing a worn upper control arm and ball joint reduces play in the front suspension, which sharpens steering input and stabilizes wheel alignment under load. MOOG engineers the part to match original suspension geometry so steering feel and tire wear patterns return closer to factory expectations.

• Restores proper caster and camber relationships for consistent tire contact
• Reduces steering looseness caused by worn joints
• Helps prevent uneven tire wear and wandering at highway speeds

What construction features help this part last on the road?

MOOG designs its control arms with reinforced materials and corrosion-resistant finishes to withstand road stress and environmental exposure. The integrated ball joint is matched to the arm’s geometry, reducing stress concentrations and improving longevity when installed and torqued to spec.

• Durable metal construction engineered for suspension loads
• Protective coatings to limit rust and corrosion
• Pre-assembled ball joint to ensure correct fit and function

How straightforward is installation for a DIYer or technician?

Because the ball joint arrives pre-installed, the RK80670 assembly simplifies replacement compared with separate-component repairs. Installation still requires proper suspension support, torque tools, and alignment after the job; a qualified technician or experienced DIYer with the correct tools can complete the swap efficiently.

• Pre-assembled unit reduces assembly steps and potential fitment errors
• Requires suspension support and wheel removal, plus torque to factory specs
• Wheel alignment recommended after installation to restore handling

Who this is for: This MOOG RK80670 assembly is suited for owners and technicians maintaining late-model GM full-size trucks and SUVs who need a durable, OE-replacement upper right front control arm with ball joint. Choose this part if you want a ready-to-install solution that addresses worn suspension play, improves steering response, and helps return factory wheel alignment characteristics; follow vehicle-specific fitment checks and schedule an alignment after replacement for best results.
