I read the parts list and what is supposed to be different, but while I had one apart, I figured I would take some picks.

I didn't show the shocks and springs or the insert on the radius arm since there are already in other threads.

I don't see much difference in the rear LCAs other than the addition of a position sensor on each side and the little ball it connects to.

The rear upper control arm bushing is solid and very stiff.

It's been a while since I replaced my toe rods, but I don't remember them having this type of joint at the end.

The GM online parts have them for $100-$110 each.
