Both Rear Upper Control Arms Sheared off? WTF!
Like the title says, truck started making some weird noises/shudders this morning so I got underneath and found both the OEM rear UCA's sheared off at the rear pivot. I was under the impression these didn't usually have issues? 120,000 miles FWIW and upgraded bushings probably 40,000 miles ago.
So two questions here:
Safe to drive? There's a definite driveline shudder from a stop then it settles down.And some suspension noises unsurprisingly.
And of course replacements? I'd prefer to stay low maintenance so probably not a Heim joint. I already replaced the lowers and the trac bar so a kit won't be needed. Oh and in stock would be mandatory obviously.
I see OEM for $90 (Each I think)
Moog for $298
Icon for $400
Dobinson's for $305
Total Chaos $687
Metal Tech $375
Who's replaced these and what route did you go?
Anything else I should be looking at while I'm in there?
