Well, on mine.....
It was on a frame lift, I put a long screwdriver up there and could see it move. Got my big Channellocks, grabbed it and the bolt and bushing were solid, but the arm rocked back and forth. I was looking for something, because it looked like the tire was rubbing the frame, I somehow broke a camber rod in my first 100 miles, and the PO had broken the other right before I bought the car.

Well, I'm replacing the oe struts (bent right side) with new adjustables. I already have the rear end broken down for that job. I noticed my trailing arm (without struts, spring and shock connected) is able to twist in place a bit. Didn't know if this was normal or if it meant the bushings were needing to be replaced.
I don't believe mine move left to right... Just twists in place. I'll double check on horizontal movement tonight.
