I noticed a funny little kick in the wheel when I jacked the back tires off the ground on my Z8 so I took a look and found that on both rear knuckles, the lower-rear a-arm mount bushing has movement. Not much..maybe .50mm but enough to notice well at the wheel. The odd thing is, the other bushing on the same pin, the front lower is still tight.. without movement. The bolt is tight, the sleeve is solid.. it's the bushing-to-sleeve that has the play. I greased them while I had it up and grease does come out of both sides so I wonder why this is happening. All the other bushing are still good a tight..just those two. Never saw only one bushing on a knuckle wear where the other on the same sleeve didn't...and the same situation exists on both sides. Weird.

I had this when a bushing turned in the sleeve. There was a weld bead in there and tore it up.
