front shock mount
Noticed a rattle while driving just now. Got it home and crawled under and found the front right lower shock mount sheared off. its D50 TTB axle. any one know is this going to be a dealer item? or do I need to hit up a junk yard. what about the big ubolts? another thing i noticed is the spring is riding within only a couple inches from the bump stop. it sits level so is that clearance the normal distance? the truck sits level. its begining to need alot of attention up front the left tire is showing a little cupping. does that mean it needs an alignment? spring bushings are showing some cracks and such. body mount bushings are looking the same.

It needs ball joints and IFS bushings. got that piece welded and put back in with new ubolts. replaced the front shocks. the bushings are pretty bad and theres some chunk in the ball joints. anyone ever rebuild the ttb ifs on one of these trucks? if Im going to tear it all appart I might as well replace all the joints in it too.
