I discovered some play while rocking wheel (12&6) and with the wheel off as well. The car has all new bearings, bushings on the rear trailing arms and spring plates.

What brand of bearings did you use? I had some issues with EMPI bearings being loose and doing the same thing. I redid the bearings and used FAG. Not issues after that

Ok LOL let me explain. FAG is a german bearing maker. They are OEM for most cars built in germany. The quality of EMPI has suffered over the years. Buy the best highest quality bearings you can get. Do it once.

The old site only gave you an hour to edit previous posts. I'm going to assume it's the same time allowance now.
