    Check your alignment eccentrics, if they are seized, you’re better off replacing the entire lower control arm rather than the ball joint.

    I currently have a set of mevotech lcas that have been installed for 3+ years/145,000 miles (80% highway miles) that are only currently starting to show signs of wear. I have 5100 + 725# installed + 35" tires so my wear rate may be exceptionally higher than may be expected.

    MEVOTECH is quality aftermarket parts, I'd have no hesitation to run them on any of my vehicles.

    No problems with them. Just remember to grease them every 3000-5000 mile.

    LCA more important then UCAs ?
    I’m not mechanic but just by looking, nothing looks seized. No rusty bolts or anything.

    looks are deceiving on lowers. Mark the cams, loosen the bolts and see if you can turn the cams with the tire jacked up. If you can't, time to bust out the sawzall.
