Holy shit.

So the thing in the OPs pic was done by some kid that kicked the tyre?

It's a picture of the upper control arm when it's probably the lower ball joint that broke (and not the whole lower control arm)

Almost certainly the ball joint. Exact same thing happened to my 1993 Buick Regal. The difference is my car was worth fixing, even at 250k miles.

Yep. My '99 Crown Vic did the same thing... around the 250,000 mile mark. Had it flatbedded to My local mechanic 400 bucks later I was back on the road.

Good thing this is a truck with similar body-on-frame construction, otherwise that would be really expens...oh wait...

You are prob right (and prob it's a design shitshow below too), but if the car was moving the higher ball fucking off could lead to lower ball quitting the job soon after as well.
