Default These Upper Control Arms okay?

I have a 1990 Chevy g20 conversion van v8 350.

Was having trouble getting it aligned at a local shop and they said it needed new control arms. so i bought some aftermarket ones.

The set that came is smaller in size by a good amount. technically they fit. the Bolt holes and spot where ball joint hangs all line up but these are definitely lighter-duty.

question is are these going to be okay? It's just used street and highway driving. A couple times a year i may pull a trailer but not all the time. not going 4-wheeling through trails or an



ything.

will answer my own question.
these don't work and are being sent back. the ball joints were too big aside from the weird smallness. found some MOOG's that looked the exactly same as the OEM and have those coming.
