    Question Upper A arm ????? Help needed

    Hopefully someone who has had their front end apart can give me a quick answer to this question as I am in the middle of replacing my ball joints...
    should the upper A arm have side to side play in it? or are my bushings bad? With it disconnected from the ball joint I can move it back and forth about 1 inch...does this sound normal?

    Sounds like your bushings are bad. When I had mine apart it would move up and down but not side to side.
