2001 ranger 2wd coil spring front. Clunk noise in front, the shop I trust so far says both lower control arms must be replaced. It’s a little cheaper to replace arms than for them to replace bushings and ball joints. The question is should I replace uppers while I’m there? I will replace the shocks The truck has 60K miles Thanks ---

No reason to do the upper control arms. They last longer than the lowers because the lowers is where the shocks mount. So they take the pounding. Tester
