Over the weekend, two new rear upper control arms, and the upper hub carrier bushings. Big thank you to Tough Guy Wheelman of Lucky8 for taking time out of his holiday weekend to fix my truck!

bushings had disintegrated they were well over due. I found that I could physically move the top of the tire by hand with it sitting on the ground.

Possibly...I do wheel mine, but not that often these days and I do adhere to the "as slow as possible, as fast as necessary" philosophy. The rest of the time it's in a garage in the very temperate Pacific NW.

I had to replace upper and lower rear control arms at 120k miles... both my rear sway bar links were snapped when I bought the truck though, so like Army Rover, the truck was neglected for sure.
