    Is this normal or too much?

    Trying to find a intermittent rattle/thud I get from the front.
    Thinking it's the front radius bushes.
    Took a vid of the movement, it this side to side moment excessive, I only lightly had to press the tyre lever to get the side to side movement. There was a little up and down movement

    that movement does look a bit excessive, but trying to find an intermittent noise in the front is an absolute pain in the ass.
    I ended up replacing the ENTIRE front end in my p38 and the only thing that i found was a couple of tie rods had play and one ball joint, however 3 grand and a week of work later no noises and it is smooth as a new one.
    good luck

    Ball joints on the stabilizer bar have been replaced,rear a frame ball joint replaced, checked engine and transfer/gearbox mounts. new front unis, new front input flange for lt230, damper ok, ties rods appear to be ok. Shockers seem ok . So I thought the radius arm bushes must be banging when going over a rut in road.

    From what i could see they look fine. Have a look at your panhard bar bushes, you can test them by having someone shake the vehicle rigorously from side to side while you lay underneath with a light
