1981evildisco Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Hello All, Merry Christmas/Happy holidays! I'm looking to put Rare Parts Everything on the front end of my truck. What I'm curious about is the fact that I don't see a "Silverado SS" section. My Truck: 2006 Silverado SS Intimidator (RWD) Does the RWD SSS's use the same suspension components as the AWD? Does anyone have the correct part numbers for this application? Thanks Guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70chevy03ss Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Never heard of rare parts before. Stock oem sure. Good luck Edited December 27, 2015 by NoMoreSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I would just call the company and ask them! But I see no reason why you would want to put those on a 2wd truck? To me they look like they are more for lifted trucks where your stressing the front end with oversized tires etc. I think you would be wasting your money because looking at them I bet they cost twice what oem is so why not just go with the GM stuff? The only time I take my 2wd off road is when I back onto my lawn accidentally..... Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981evildisco Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I found my card with all the part numbers on it! It was when I called them a couple weeks ago. 28559 Tie Rods (inner and outer) 20608 Idler Arm Pittman arm 20609 (3 Spline) 20610 (4 Spline) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981evildisco Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Well the reason I want to put them on my truck is remarkably simple. I want the most robust overbuilt suspension so my truck will last. I hate doing things twice and if I can get an extended service life on these versus an OE or an OE equivalent will do so. Also, I love American made parts, especially from a reputable small business. Are they more expensive? Absolutely, but I do believe with our trucks, at least my Intimidator deserves nothing short of the best. Any AWD guys know if the suspension is the same? There's another thread talking about how the high HP AWD guys would bend theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaze_v8 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Suspension should be almost the same except for the fact that one has axles in the front and the other doesn't. Both should have torsion bar suspensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981evildisco Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I figured as much. Mine has torsion bars and it does look like there is plenty of room for an axle/hub. What I'm wondering is about the steering. Specifically tie rods and such But i suppose if the knuckles are the same then the steering would be too.

1981evildisco Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 FYI My Silverado SS is a 4 Spline, there's a good chance most others are. P/N 28559 is one set of per vehicle.(Inner/outer tie Rod assembly) x2 Autozone has it for 199.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
