Detailed Description

Built for vehicles that need a factory-correct suspension repair, the Mevotech GS501236 helps return proper alignment geometry and front-end control. It is a strong fit for classic GM platforms, including 1975-1986 Chevrolet C10, 1979-1986 GMC C1500, 1975-1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, and 1973-1984 GMC Jimmy, all in the front right upper position. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK621268 for the same application.

As part of Mevotech Original Grade, this assembly is aimed at restoring OE performance rather than changing suspension characteristics. The steel arm, rubber bushings, and pre-greased ball joint support dependable operation on daily-driven vehicles, while the included boot and fasteners help reduce extra parts sourcing during repair. Part number GS501236 is also referenced by Delphi TC6571 and Dorman - OE Solutions 520-182.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end looseness or wandering
• Clunking or popping from the upper suspension area
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn control arm components
• Steering instability during braking or cornering
• Excess play from a worn ball joint or deteriorated bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right upper position before installation and confirm vehicle-specific fitment by year, make, and model. Because this assembly is non-adjustable, proper alignment should be performed after replacement. Inspect adjacent suspension components, including lower control arms, tie rods, and steering linkage, to address related wear at the same time.

Compatible With select 1973-1995 Chevrolet and GMC applications, including Chevrolet G10, G20, C10, K5 Blazer, Blazer, and GMC G1500, G2500, C1500, Jimmy, and related van and Suburban models in the front right upper position.
