i just put my 4 link in last night and i have some play in my axle is this normal? Should it move at all? Help me out.

forward and backwards or left to right? post pics and what kind of setup you have. your axle shouldnt move.

i moves forward and backwards. Its only tacked welded right now so i guess that could be part of the problem. Here are some pics.

what angle u have the 4link

i check to make sure you have the right bolts and the right tabs, i know a lot of the smaller bushings like that use a 5/8ths bolt where as the larger bushings use 9/16ths. the bolt should fit snuggly in the tab and the inner sleeve of the bushing.

hell i have no idea..does that make a difference? im new at all this so any solutions would be much appreciated

all my bolts and tabs are fine they all fit snug

if it was moving laterally i would say it your triangulated bars werent triangulated enough but since its rocking forwards and backwards i would check your tacks and make sure nothing broke. then i would check rock the axle back and forth and try and look for where your tabs are flexing.

right on man, yeah i went out and moved it a bit and i can see my tabs kinda flexing so im gonna weld them up fullly and hopefully that solves my problem.

my FBI 4 link kit came with all 3/4 " bolts and my tabs and heim joints were 5/8" so I would have had play there, so I had to go and buy all the hardware over again, I think somebody at FBI is asleep at the wheel.
