Rear Trailing Arm Bush freeplay - thoughts on this install

[rc_]

Top marking should be on top because usually it has thinner bushing than bottom side. As for side to side play, I think this is how they designed it for pedders bushes.

I'm not sure why pedders bushing can go side to side where oem counterpart is firm no play.

Seems strange to me. I think it is a nolathane part, it has 6179 stamped on it which I found on this page.

The install instructions from their page mentions 2 washers, I looked on the inner side and the circlip does not look to have a washer between it and the bushing. I'll email nolathane now that I've found it.

I only noticed the noise after fitting the hardrace rear camber arms, but they're all done nice and tight so I'm confident that the noise isn't coming from them, can't see any other signs of contact around the suspension and have removed the rear anti roll bar to troubleshoot.

I greased all the rear bushings at the same time as fitting the camber arms, so I think the RTA bushes are more free to move laterally than before greasing causing the knocking.
