Those of you that follow our blog and adventures know that we frequent rough backroads. We drive slow and carefully, but we are often crawling along in 4 low.
Memorial Day Weekend is used for annual truck and camper chores. The camper comes off and both the truck and camper are thoroughly washed, detailed and waxed. Also, the truck gets its annual lube job - u-joints, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.
As I pulled the truck into the garage for detailing after washing, Julie noticed that the truck was tilting - lower on the passenger side. This is what we found -
That split is not normal on the lower control arm (how's that for an understatement?). The last rock we bumped was crawling down a steep two track in southeastern Oregon, north of highway 140 east of Adel last week.
New parts are already on order. We'll fix it next weekend. Julie and I rebuilt the front end in May 2018 - 93,000 miles ago. We'll also install a new set of shocks, a convenient time to do it.
