How loose should they be?
Wife's Camry has had a rattle for a few years now, and it's gotten bad enough to annoy me whenever I drive it. Today I pulled the wheel and put a jack under the knuckle; I don't feel any play in the swaybar link (I know that's a common source of noise, but it just doesn't feel loose to me). Poking around I noticed a small gap between the swaybar and the bushing. If I jack up on the sway bar, not a lot of force, I can get 1, maybe 2mm of movement.
Sorry for the junky pic, could not get the light right.
