Need assistance identifying a part

Desert Sasqwatch
I would trust the GM one to be correct. Caution with Dorman sourced parts, they claim parts to fit but sometimes end up being incorrect. Maybe you will be lucky and the RH will be correct, but make certain they will accept a return part if it's not.

So I called O'reilly to confirm what the part number is on their end and they said it is the right steering knuckle for the 2009 SS/TC 2.0. So fingers crossed
 
Ark :D
Many of us have been down this road. Maybe you'll get lucky and get the right parts on the first try, but, most outlets don't know the difference between a TC and a non-TC knuckle. It sucks but it's true.

So... if this were you, would you return the ones you already ordered and purchase these?

* I am tempted to leave my order as is because I think they are right, I'll just have know way to know until they get here (and even then, I would only know if I bolted it all together and it didn't line up). Unless there is a part number on the pieces that I can check against the numbers in the above image.

I really appreciate you sending all this info. I just don't know what to make of it/what to do with it. I was thinking it would have the knuckle part numbers, but you found that in the other image.

Those are just the gm part numbers, a lot of times rock auto has them listed under the "info" button with the description on their aftermarket parts so it makes it easier to cross reference.

before you return it make sure that you can order the other one. OEMcats is just a 3rd party website that links you to other sellers.

the RH knuckle is discontinued from GM


Checking online it looks like the dorman part won't fit. You can get one used off of car-part.com there are a few on there or a few on Facebook available.
