[TR] Wheel/suspension movement

[Ed Oot]

All

Need some thoughts on this:

TR3

Every time I remount the wheels I always grab top and bottom and test for any
movement. Did the right side, no movement. Did the left side and got a little
movement. Thinking it to be the wheel bearing, I pulled things apart,
tightened the castle nut one flat and put it back together. Still movement. I
then took the wheel back off, grabbed the end of the extension and pulled up.
The whole unit appears to move a tad. For example, when I do this I see the
top of the vertical link move where it connects to the ball joint.  As far as
I can tell the ball joint arm (I know my terminology leaves something for the
imagination) moves as well so I don't think it to be the ball joint. I'm just
speculating here.

When I look at the whole design of things, I'm not exactly sure what should
prevent this movement from happening.  Can you enlighten me?  If this movement
is OK, why none on the other side?

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions are always appreciated.
