i went under my truck today and grabbed on to them and shook the hell out of them and i have a tiny bit of play in them... like enough to make it click by shaking it hard enough. does this mean they are bad and is the reason i feel like i am going to fly into the next lane when i hit rough patches on the freeway? how hard of a replacement is it and is there some better replacement part than the one on the autozone website?

 

Took me about a half hour mostly because the bolts were rusty. I got mine off rock auto.

 

but are they bad? i was under the impression they shouldnt be any movement at ALL

 

anyone?

 

Rear links, I would say should have no rattle play, you may be able to squish the rubber/poly bushing a little bit.

 

It should move very little... it depends on the amount of movement you get. If it was rock solid you'd break something.

 

i would say a few millimeters play. enough where if i give it a good shake i can tap it back and forth making it click when it hits

 

My left side had a seized bolt/bushing and it was squeeking so I just replaced them both.

 

OH!... thats too much, lol Sounds like you found your issue, either way!
