Hello,
While working on upgrading my brakes I found that the right trailing arm has about 1/8 - 1/4 side to side movement. The shafts and bushing came from PMS both nuts are tight.
Haven't dissembled but think the bushing face may be at fault?
Thanks

So you didn't post if you have replaced the busings or not.
If so...meaning you replaced them.
1. Did you replace with new axle shafts to the arm or reburbish the old ones?
2. Did you check the mounting hole for ovaling like Brant suggested?
3. When you install the bushing the serrated axle shaft MUST sit proud of the bushing otherwise it will never tighten and will come loose....a very bad thing.
4. Did you use the stock nut and did you get new ones or used?
5. Did you realign the rear end when you replaced them are are the chassis mount nuts tight?
I feel like you haven't told us enough to determine what is happening. Pictures are always nice.

New shafts and Delrin? bushings from PMS.

Haven't dissembled yet. Holes looked good when I installed the new shafts ~2,000 miles ago.

The shaft mounting nuts are tight on both ends. Arm can move left to right on the shaft. No movement at the mounting nuts. So assume shaft is proud of the bushings?

New nuts.

Yes.

Yes, really nothing to see at this point until I remove the arm. Have a car show this weekend less than a mile away. Will tear back into it after that.
Thanks
