When you get a chance jack the truck by the control arm, get the tire about an inch from the ground. take a large pry bar and stick under the tire and move it up and down. That should tell you if anything is lose in the front end. It helps if you have someone on the outside of the tire moving it and someone on the ground under the truck looking for movement. take your time. As far as an alignment, any reputable shop will check the front end before doing the alignment, and let you know if any parts need to be replace.

I don't have control arms, I have radius arms.
