Once I fixed that, drove almost like a new truck
Thanks for the input Not a Bronco. I will check those pins while I wait on parts. I think I have found my culprit- the driver's side spring eye bushing is completely gone. It was there a week ago! Haha. The passenger's side eye bushing is deteriorating badly as you can see in the original post. Like a knucklehead, I ordered the bushings for the rear shackle instead a few weeks ago. I placed the order today for some front bushings. I'll report back
