Rear Suspension Questions!
Today I spent most of the day chasing a dang rattle in the rear of my 92. During this process I had the car up on jack stands and found that I can wiggle my rear tire(S) a bit. If I grab the tire at the 7&2 o'clock on the passenger side and wiggle it I get some minor play up towards the door handle. I cant seem to figure out where its coming from. All the bushings look good. All the bolts are tight as possible. The only thing I can figure is when the load is off the rear suspension the trailing arms allow it to move just a bit on both sides. Both rear tires do the exact same thing.
I do have coilovers on the car so the transverse spring is gone. I can see how maybe the mounting spot for the "bolts" for the spring may have gave it some support.
Anyone have any constructive input on this?

I have not seen your set-up, but mine do not have any rubber mounts, and all the metal noises transfer to the chassis. Ive learned to live with it.
Ensure the coilovers are not rubbing on anything to include that big headed bolt down there, and all should be tight.
Hmmm....do you magnaflow mufflers?

Im leaning towards the bearings again but its hard to believe they would fail so soon.
