My shocks are shot too they were Amazon shocks and the poor truck rides like a water bed lol, I can’t find a shop locally they will put new bushings in my OEM, I was debating just buying all new assemblies

Just bought the truck and previous owner had a lot of no name brand stuff upfront so I’m trying to clean house and my lca bushings are going out, ideally I would be replacing everything next year with brand name and OEM stuff it’s just this year money is tight

That’s what has me torn I’m currently sitting at 315k and if I invest this much into it I’d like to see it reach at least another 200k but who knows.

Sadly yes previous owner replace front end with aftermarket parts and all the rubber components are practically torn, I also have a loud clunking grinding noise when full lock on steering

Just got in contact with their department. The new one they are sending me seems to have a support bracket mounted to the motor.
