While some people were out drinking Thanksgiving eve I was in the garage replacing a rear wheel bearing in my track car. In process I noticed a lot of lateral play in the trailing arm. I tightened the mounting nuts, but it didn't change the lateral movement. I only assume that movement isn' t normal? I'm running polybrionze bushings. They were installed 6 or 7 years ago, or roughly 50-60 track hours.
Next step check for ovalling of the mounting holes? Obligatory bearing and beer photo below.  |
