    Went to get new tires (it's a new truck) only to find that the lower control arm mounts are all kinds of bent. Anyone know a fix for this or how much it would cost to get it repaired?

    Sorry but that isn't a new truck.

    Are you having an alignment issue?

    If Not, I wouldn't worry about it.

    If Yes, Take it to a shop that specializes in suspension.

    Nobody on here will be able to give you a good quote from those pictures.

    They don't look that bad to me. But this is a picture on the internet so...

    Yeah it's messing up my alignment pretty bad. I think I should take it to a frame shop. Nothing else is bent but the front and rear mounts. I think it will cost around 400-500 to fix. Hopefully they can just bend the mounts back without having to take them off and weld on new ones.

    OP, you screwed up by not saying, "New to me truck". The assholes on here will crucify you and this thread will go to crap shortly.
    Good time for aftermarket ones.

    What he said. You'll have 20 posts shortly of nothing but diarrhea that has nothing to do with your question.

    Take it to a frame shop like someone else was saying. They'll set you straight :rimshot:

    Important: If you live in an area where they salt or rust is a possibility at all really, apply anti-seize or similar to the LCA eccentrics bolts, otherwise they tend to seize up and be not able to move. This means you won't be able to get an alignment...-

    Just one side of the truck OP?

    What're you having for alignment problems? Pulling? Tire wear?
