    With 380,000 on a long travel on my 2007 my drivers side has tons of right to left play! Over 1"!! It is all coming from where the bolt goes through the frame for the upper A arm. It is just worn complete out. I have changed out everything including new icon A arms and bolt. Thankful to get rid of all alljunk stuff! I rebuilt the alljunk bushings replace the washers that were completely worn through with a new bolt each time I do anything; then went to icon setup. It is where the bolt goes through. I can stick just the bolt in and see tons of play big difference from drivers side to passenger side. I am open for any ideas. I am going back and forth with trying to put bushings in the frame and just cutting off and replacing the spring perch! Either way it looks like it will suck. I have also just thought of driving it and eating my tires for the next year before I part out the truck. I only want to get one more year out of it before I part it out. I don't sell my trucks "I know what they go through" and could not live with someone getting hurt because of that. Just looking for ideas that I may have overlooked. Thank you

    Weld some thick washers to them so there is no slop
