She ain't revved 'til the rods are thrown...
I want to replace the passenger side lower control arm on my truck. The area where the ball joint gets pressed in is so worn that ball joints don't stay in anymore. Shops have been welding them in for me, but too often than not the idiot doing the job doesn't take the grease fitting orientation into account and I'm stuck with a ball joint I can't get a grease gun on, leading to premature failure and this endless cycle I want to get out of with a new lower control arm.
However I can't for the life of me find a new lower control arm for sale anywhere online. I don't know if this is a COVID thing, if the part was discontinued long ago, or never even offered as a replacement wear part. I found old threads talking about forged lower control arms with a part number 512-01591R but can only find used takeouts offered on eBay.
So I'm wondering if it is possible to get new replacement lower control arms for 4x4 trucks with torsion bars, or if I should stop wasting my time looking for a new part on the internet that doesn't exist. Thanks!
