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.
This is what you don't want your bearings to look like. Missing rollers, severe damage, rollers severely worn.
