72 vette trailing arm lateral movement
Hi All,
Im putting new shims in the trailing arm of my 72 vette and am curious if there should be any lateral movement at the bushing end of the arm after shims are installed?
Advice??

Some 25 years ago a vette shop changed my T/A bushings, and aligned them.....and so maybe 2 years ago I had the entire car aligned, and the back end was 'untouched' ....so question is, I was told the new bushings were urethane? not the OEM rubber.....does Urethane actually last this long?? not that many miles on it, but with these rough roads on this sandbar, I suspect they taken their abuse....
