When I had the driver’s side front tire/wheel off yesterday to clean the wheel, I noticed that the upper control arm was contacting the frame (stop). I did not take a photo then, but I did take one now with the wheel/tire on and the weight of the truck on the tire.
If that point of contact was rubber, I wouldn’t be too worried, but it’s metal-on-metal. After doing some research, it seems that the previous owner may have cranked the torsion bar to achieve some lift, but in doing so, made the upper control arm contact the frame stop.
By the looks of the photo, is this a reasonable conclusion? Should I be worried that the control arm is bent and needs replacement?
