Scotty, first thanks for all you do.
ok, more of a statement than a question. I have a 2021 Tundra with 32K miles on it, 3 years old bought new. I have had to replace both upper control arms now within 6 months of each other under warranty of course. Are you aware of any manufacturing or other problems with control arms like this on the tundras?
They were leaking. Major sludge on the boots.
control arms are just hunks of metal. They don't have boots, and they can't leak.
Maybe you mean the ball joints? Did you take photos? Who made this diagnosis and was it covered by warranty?

A Tundra suspension has the same reputation as the truck, an excellent one. 32K on a Tundra is low mileage so it's surprising it would need any suspension work. Why were the control arms needed replaced?

Thanks for the info. Tundras have a great reputation for being durable and reliable. Just sounds odd, at 32K miles having that kind of problem with a Tundra suspension. Never heard of an issue so researched and still found very little problems with stock suspensions.
I agree, but it wasn’t built in Japan so perhaps for this build, they used substandard control arms. I’ll never know why.
