Check your upper control arm bushings!

So I've been crazy busy all summer, working 7days/week and haven't done anything but daily drive the 4runner. It's developed a little bit of a "skip/hop" feel over bumps especially in corners. I've also noticed the pass front tire wearing excessively. Normally wouldn't let something go this long but I've been non stop.
So today I go to rotate my tires to put the worn FR one as the spare. I do the normal wiggle test once the tire is off the ground-and find the upper control arm bushings are SHOT. Giving the uca about 1/2 inch slop in all directions....Sketchy!!!

Luckily I've had some all pro ucr's waiting to go in for a while. Picked them up in a group buy a while back. One of those things I just haven't gotten to. Guess they just moved WAY up on my to-do list.

Anyhoo-make sure ya give 'me a look and wiggle anytime you pull front wheels up off the ground.
