You'll have to take the control arms out and inspect. More likely they'll be shot. Early warnings and easy to tell for example when you lift off the gas or stomp on the gas and the truck wants to go towards the side of the road for no reason.
These are the POS Mevocrap ones, say no to Made in China arms..., these had been in my truck for 6 months and look how they were. 3 out of 4 had failed bushings. Bought them brand new to replace the stockers with 80k miles.

I installed the full set of Claytons overland+ back in March 2020. They have been set it and forget it in literally 4 years and 60k miles, and they don't have greasing zerks so nothing to grease/maintain. The bushings also feature a knurled section so they'll clamped to the mount like God said so
they're for JT but borrowed from 4th gen RAM trucks so these are designed with heavy duty tasks in mind, even in the JT's the bushing call for 180-190ft/lbs same as our trucks.

Way better built than the factory ones and super heavy duty, this is one upper

and this is the lower

And again with the way the bushing/sleeve is built your factory control arm mount brackets won't chew up your bushings as you torque them to 180-190ft/lbs because the mount walls never contact the actual bushings just like it does in stock form
