Probably. the bad news is that they're likely beefier than the ones on the civvy models!

That is a year old. Any relevant updates?
I dont know whats up with GM and the impala suspension parts. first there was the deal a few years back on rear arms causing premature rear tire wear and them being recalled for commercial customers and NOT consumers.
And now this. Repeat? time will tell.
Now the 2014 Impala is getting rave reviews. All new. Did GM finally get the message? Or are there going to be more cheapskate gremlins hiding in the closet?
what value is a "review" of a product not yet available to the public? i mean, if the reviewer's publisher carried paid advertising for that manufacturer, and there is no one else able to contradict, and that manufacturer only released to "reviewers" known to be favorable*, does anything they say have any real credibility?
It'll take a while for that to be seen... most of the issues with the previous Impala weren't evident on a test drive (other than the awful handling.)

The old Checker cabs used some Ford front suspension parts.
Well, i went out and looked at a 14 impala. I'm not one to be easily impressed, but this car was nice. It looked nice. Interior did not look El-cheapo. Lots of back seat space. Lots or trunk space. Mileage was good (EPA anyway-real world will tell) If it did not have a Chevy badge on it i might have thought it was another make.

good social experiment: print out BMW emblem and tape it over Chevy logo, then drive around some "happening" night clubs with stupid women and see how many get in. GW
The latest version is getting very good reviews from the press, unlike the last couple. I hope that GM got it right this time, for their sake.
