Rear trailing arm bushes, what's classes as excessive play?!
Just had my rear beam and parts coated the bushes have been cleaned out and have new seals etc but was just wondering before I re grease them etc what's classed as excessive wear/play?!
Don't wanna fit the new beam to find out their worn!!

I think mine needs these , got slight wandering on the go but then i only felt that since changing tyres so maybe wrong.
I would think a new bush would have minimal play but enough to 'soak' up for steady ride?
If i was doing a beam Id go for the new ones fit and forget.

I removed the grease from my bushes/bearings and there was a bit of movement. Re packed both sides with grease and fitted the seals. They felt alot better when I did this.

I'm gonna re pack with grease and fit new seals and see how they go for now.
Doesn't appear to be excessive movement plus I need to strip the old beam off and fit the new coated one soon, will re asses once the seals are in as they obviously move without them.
If it feels like there's a problem I can just get the old arms stripped and re coated and fit new bushes and swap the arms over.
The £300 it would cost for bushes is gonna be needed for getting it mapped!!
