Question

How do I know if my 98 chevy PU takes stamped or forged ball joints

Answer 1

Ask a parts store that has cooperative people working there or call your local Chevy parts dept.

Answer 2

Look at'em.

Answer 3

  The ball joints aren't what they're looking for. It's the control arms they're trying to indentify. The forged lower control arms look like an "A". That is, The center of the control arm is open. But If memory serves, they didn't use stamped control arms in 98.
