Front End replacement 15 Yukon XL Denali

[Cthom]

Was told by a shop i trust i need control arms upper and lower both sides, lower ball joint, outer and inner tie rod ends and sway bar link/kit. My alignmant been way off and the front tires inner wear has been terrible. Im NOT trying to lower or raise the vehicle in any way, keep it factory height. My question has anyone tried the kits that are posted on Ebay or Amazon. Kits where everything is in one package. Or is it better to order each piece one by one. Ive looked on Ebay and Detroit Axle brand are posted on there has anyone had luck with then or any company? Or is it best to go OEM route?

Anything on Amazon or Detroit axle are bottom of the barrel value brand (I'm going to flip this cad, or run it and trade it).

You bought a premium vehicle for a reason. Man up and buy OEM parts if you plan on keeping it to do yourself a favor.......cheap parts = redo.

I did the front end on my 15 Denali almost a year ago. I had a wheel hub going bad, 2 control arms with play and a leaking strut. I used all moog parts from rock auto. I think I was at about $600 on parts before struts. Some members will say to stick with Gm genuine parts, and I won’t disagree with them comments, but I will say that I only got about 60k miles out of the OEM equipment… so I’m not really excited to pay OEM prices if they’re not gonna reach miles that my older trucks have on OEM equipment.

Agreed.
OP, look at the Mevotech TTX on Rock Auto as well.

For a stock height, OEM suspension parts are the only way to go, if you don't want to repeat this work within the next 100,000+ plus miles.

Detroit Axle is what you use when you are selling the car the next day to your worst enemy.

How many miles on her?

If you want to be a one and done repair go with kryptonite or rare parts suspension
Ac delco if that’s what you prefer but kryptonite has a lifetime warranty on all there parts.

I’ve personally put almost 100,000 miles on my kryptonite front end with 0 issues

Anytime I did a eBay moog or Detroit axle front end I ended up changing it out after about 3-4 months and spending even more money for more parts plus alignments.

I second the Mevotech TTX front UCA and LCA on Rock Auto. They're very nice OEM replacement control arms; Forged aluminum. These are the front UCA and LCA control arms I put on my '15 Yukon XL Denali. Installed great, ride and perform great, perhaps even better than OEMs.

Amongst the things to skimp out on and go cheap replacement suspension parts are not one of them.

I'd say go with GM Genuine replacement parts from rockauto.
