99 tahoe control arm replacement

[live_music_guy]

I ordered ball joints off the internet and got the wrong ones. With out knowing I tried pressing one in and it wrecked my lower right control arm (stretched the hole). Now I need a new one and I cannot get it from any auto parts store or GM dealer.

I found one at a used parts place, but it came from a suburban and not a tahoe. Their computer says its not compatible but it looks identical. Does anyone know if this will work? They have one in a tahoe, but I would have to wait for them to pull it and time is something i don't have.

For reference, I have a '99 tahoe LT 4X4 4WD with 237,000 miles. The suburban the used part came from was a half ton '99 4X4 4WD.

Thanks for any info you guys might have.
