I posted this thread first, but slipped it into the other discussion 'cos that one seemed to be moving quicker  ::)

Interestingly, when rocking the wheel there did seem to be a little bit of movement, but not excessive. It seemed like the whole bar was moving, including the track rod on the Offside..

Is there any play in the track rod end on the other side?
