    When I was getting my alignment done the other day, the mechanic informed me that one of the two metal tabs was barely hanging on, then when he showed me...it snapped off. So I'm looking to replace the entire part.

    A drop bracket. And you also circled part of the lower control arm.

    Which tab are you talking about? And do you have a procmop 6" lift? Yoiu profile says 3" Bulldog(????) lift?

    It also says Prerunner on his profile and the photo is a 4wd. Take a photo of your own vehicle and show us the broken part. It will be a lot easier

    You do not need to replace the whole thing. Just find a fabricator and have them weld you some new alignment tabs. That is a common problem, especially if you jump your truck.

    Alright so in looking at the picture in your profile, you do indeed have a prerunner with a 3" lift of some sort. So you don't even have about half of the parts circled on your truck. So we need a picture of the broken tab on your truck.

    ^^^I believe the correct term for that is a camber adjustment cam.

    More importantly, the alignment shop couldn't tell you what the part was called :confused:

    Yeah I agree with you, that's likely the broken part.
