This is for my C5 but the parts should be interchangeable between the two generations. I ordered a bunch of parts from Rockauto to do a suspension refresh but I've run into a few questionable items.
First is MOOG K500134 upper balljoint. I received one which looks like the balljoint on the left, the other three look like the balljoint on the right. Searching multiple sites, I've seen images of both designs advertised as K500134. Is it an issue running these together?
For MOOG ES2231RL tie rod ends, the left tie rod is as it appears when searching online; KN stamped and a bag of smaller items. The right tie rod comes stamped with KQ and no bag.
I also received two MOOGEV343 inner tie rods that were unequal in length by roughly an inch. I assumed one of these is clearly the wrong part but figured I'd ask anyway.
Not exactly C6 related, but I just ran into the exact same thing on a 61 Cadillac. I was doing a front end rebuild, and managed to source NOS GM complete lower control arms. The factory lower ball joints were drilled for castle nuts, the NOS replacements were not.
