I replaced the front bearings in my ss a while back. Show it side to side recently and noticed at least 3/8" of an inch of movement. Turns out the a-arms are moving up and down about 1/4", my question is how much play are you guys seeing? About to do a complete refresh on the buggy and looks like i'm going to have to add this to the list. Thanks

I'm having a hard time picturing what you are describing:

1. The a-arms pivot on bushings - Are these worn?
2. The arms connect to the spindle via ball joints - Do you see slop in the ball and cup?
3. The arms are suspended by the front shocks that also use bushings - Are these bushings worn?
4. The hubs sit on bearings - Is the I.D. of the bearing on the spindle correct? Is the spindle nut tighten sufficiently?

Ah i see now i didn't explain that right at all lol. say if you bent over and grabbed the top a-arm with your hands you could like it up away from the spindle. The balljoint itself is pulling apart from the cup( if that makes sense). Gonna order them anyways.Thanks
