I noticed an excessive amount of freeplay in one of the trailing arms when trying to measure the offset for the link pin shims. Turns out the trailing arm and needle bearing were severely damaged, and that some repairs were necessary.
Here is what a well maintained original arm should look like--smooth with minimal wear where the arm rides on the bearing. |
