[QUOTE=PGSigns;7892438If the upper will move side to side I would think its time to put shafts and bushings in it.

The upper A arm doesn't seem to move side to side. If I grab each side with a hand and pave it level I can get a little pay if I push/pull it to and from the frame. Think of a bolt in too big of a hole. I'm not yet sure how to check the lower, maybe once I brake the spindle free from the ball joint.

Harbor freight had some pneumatic pickling forks that fit in an air chosen for $10. Think those are worth it our just see about free rental from O'Reilly?
