Good day. My son is in need of both upper control arms for his '90 D250 5.2 2wd, but I'm having an extraordinary amount of difficulty sourcing them on top of a lot of conflicting information. I found a seller on ebay for $500 and jimsautoparts.com has them for $400. I was hoping to find something a bit cheaper.
How do I know what axle rating he has? Is this something I can glean from the VIN? I've read elsewhere on the interwebs that the 4,000# axle is for the diesel only? Anyone know of any documentation available about this?
I've also read that all the uppers are the same for all the 1st gen B/D/W codes, but from what I can tell the OEM for my truck is part 52059039 for the left, and 52059038 for the right, but different numbers are listed for either W's or B's.
I did try placing an order through hollanderparts.com, but the salvage yard said the ones they had were not in good shape. My local yards have nothing.
We're running out of ideas and would appreciate any comments or thoughts. Thanks.
