just replace the bushings, pretty common part to go out, easy to replace

I had same thing happen. In my case I had a spare calimini steering set I bought for the spare TRA's So swapped idelr arms. Bandit 4x4 has the bushings. I just need to be really bored one day and swap it out so I have another backup.
Yeah shops always try to take advantage if it's something they think the layman won't understand. Looking at your truck, they should know better
