Lower control arm both side breaking in the pic?
It's been like that since I bought it 3 years ago. Checked with my mechanics to see if they need to be replaced and they said it should be fine for awhile. Yes, the truck run great without any problem regarding those control arms. No noise, no nothing!

We called dealership and they don't sell that part alone. They said we need to purchase the whole thing which is $1200 each (our shop cost).

But I really wanna take her to Death Valley. Just want to do some minor off-road (Titus Canyon and road to Racetrack Playa). Just loose gravel. I don't know if I should or not?

Other than that, my truck run great. New timing belt set, radiator, spark plugs......

113k miles

as long as there is no play in the joint it will be fine, Mine has been that way to Baja 2 times this year and 1 month in the Colorado Rockys running every trail twice. That being said I have new Moog lower ball joints ready to install for the heck of it. We have a full summer of travel ahead of us.

Thanks a lot! I don't have to worry about it anymore. I wonder if someplace selling that part alone so I don't have to buy the whole assy.
