Had to replace lower control arms and knuckle

[Ri22]

I had a 2002 toyo land cruiser beat the crap out of it 282k miles, hundreds of suspension hits, tore the exhaust system out 3 times from off roading. Never replaced single suspension part except for bushings not even shocks

I know we are going to get a lot of I had a better truck comments. I would really like to see those parts that were returned to the OP.

Here is what i got. It looks like the kne bushing was probably loose and sloppy, but everything else felt fine. The splines, etc look great. My truck has never had a hit or anybdrama on the front end.

I've taken it off road, it nothing approaching crazy or really rough.

I'm guessing the bushings are not replaceable. I would have expected.a lot more life from it... .

Yeah, control arm is shot, but I don't see anything wrong with the knuckles...

Meanwhile on my dad's 1/2 ton ICE truck at 90k miles, mostly easy gravel roads (they live 10 miles from town on gravel county roads) the front suspension was shot. I replaced upper and lower control arms, tie rods etc. And after a few months I'm going back into replace front and rear shocks+springs and CV axles on the front. Classic "YMWV" situation.

My' 24 Foundation Edition Beast has 67k miles. I started hearing a clunking noise when going over bumps, etc. Tesla just replaced both lower control arms and both knuckles and driven hubs.

I was surprised I had to do that already. Seems weird. It was about $3700 (after the 7k pcs)... Tesla service said it was normal wear.

I'm in love with the truck and wouldn't change it, but it is expensive...

Doesn’t @CYBERTRUCKco have an aftermarket solution? Did you consider it?
