    Bushings look like they're shot and is your CV boot torn?

    looks normal to me :notsure:

    your bolt isn't moving with the LCA so it appears to not be seized.

    CV boot is fubar though.

    But should the bushing allow for that much movement? Seems the rubber should keep the LCA a little more centered. I guess I'd have to see a new one for comparison.

    jack up the truck and take tire off and jam a crowbar in there and try to wiggle the bushing
    does appear your bushing has an excessive amount of play

    and how are you mounting the go pro there?

    a rattle is going to most likely be your steering shaft

    At 7:47, when you begin to stop, the LCA shift away from the frame. Then as you stop, is move back towards the frame. A lot more than I would think should be normal. Considering how you have a '09 with a CV Boot already torn (mine is an '06 with 100k+ and both are still good), then it is highly likely that your bushing is bad as well.
