15mm!!! That must be pretty clunky!

How much side ways movement is acceptable for the upper links bushes?
I put a tyre lever on them and it seems easy to push them sideways with a little bit of pressure. But Up and down there is no noticeable movement.

Whilst investigating the source of an occasional rattle , I found my Adjustable rear A frame Ball joint had approx 15 mm of up and down movement and the rubber seal was perished and split. So I'm going to replace it with a geasable one, ( The adjustable one didn't really last that long unless you are supposed to adjust them every week which I didn't considering the vehicle hasn't had many off road trips for a while now)

Suprisingly it wasn't clunky, and 15mm is no exaggeration either .Originally Posted by justinc

I was tracing the occassional rattle some where underneath that appeared to right under my drivers seat. I found a shot front uni, and replaced that but the Rattle noise was still there, when going over small imperfections in the road. But the way noises can be hard to trace it wouldn't suprise me that it is transmitting from the a frame ball joint.But I am tone deaf to certain frequencies of sound so mayme the rattle was a clunk sound

SubscriberI would stick my head up there and eyeball whether the bushes are still stuck/bonded to the centre sleeve. If still stuck then OK , if not they need to be replaced.The upper bushes are quite compliant, sideways movement isn't a worry at all UNLESS they don't spring back after

Exactly, thats what I meant by 'not springing back'. If they are delaminated then they will just move across, won't spring back to where they were originally.

They seem to be springing back so I'll leave them for now and just do the Ball joint.
I reckon the bushes probably will need a 20 ton press to get out anyway. Something I haven't acquired yet.

I used a 30mm ring spanner and tried tightening up and loosening the radius arm bolt at the chassis end. While doing this the radius arm was twisting significantly. It did return to the original position though but they were definitely delaminated and in need of replacement.
My steering had been pretty vague so used some castor correcting bushes.
Using a bearing press I was easily able to pop out the old ones and press in the new ones. While at it I replaced the bushes on the chassis end too as the rubber looked a little perished.
It now has much better handling and corning so it is well worth the effort.
