LCA frame connection - large cut in metal due to bushign? help!

Hell yall,

2013 Tacoma Double cab 4x4 fully built.

I've got a pretty noticeable scrape that removed a good bit of metal on the part of the frame where the LCA bushing connects to the frame. This is on the inside of one of the welded tabs.

I was having significant and very loud squeaking on the left side of the suspension where this was happening and noticed significant vibrations when i pushed the truck up and down.

Truck has full BP-51 set up, winch, and bar.

Would this cause a significant squeak? Anything drastic need to be done here? Should I file this down as smooth as I can get, paint it, and install new control arms (already bought).

Please let me know your thoughts of causing this as well as fixing it.





Thank you,
Anthony

 

Cannot see pictures. Cannot help without being able to see them.

 

trying to post them sorry!

 

Thoughts? I'm replacing the lower control arms (full set with bushings and ball joint), swing arm links, swing arm bushings, and having both BP-51 mounts, top and bottom, replaced just in case. Wanna know what to do with this guy before I install everything.

 

Looks like someone had to cut off the LCA adjusters and made a mark.. Sand it smooth, paint, and don't worry about it.

 

Ok. So the LCA bushings are probably still good if they've replaced them once already at 119k miles. How best to determine if the lower control arm bushings are still good? I've got new ones on the way but If i don't need them then I'll keep them in.
