The new part fits VF/WN, the old part fits VE/WM....the new part appear to have a lube fitting--yes? Assuming it is aftermarket, does the OEM version also have a lube fitting, or is it sealed?

The taper is different, I'm guessing, because the later VF/WN chassis used aluminum knuckles. How closely the new part shown is to the OE part, it does appear to be more robust than the used part....but I think they are not from the same application, correct?
None of the pictures are rotated? The used one is the one from my car and the oem one (which is all there is out there) does not have a grease fitting. I was searching for something “better” than what comes stock but nobody has said what makes things different and also gmpartsdirect shows both the older and newer style fitting the 2014
Yeah, on everything except my iPad Pro, those arms are oriented vertically up and down. On the iPad, they are oriented horizontally with the rusty one at the top of the picture. Ya gotta love standards used to determine picture orientation, where everyone uses their own ‘standard’.

Bill, yes, the rusty one is the OEM part off the car.

Weird, I only post and browse on my iPhone and they’re horizontal.
