A Arm Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Replaced the brake calipers today on the longhorn and noticed 1/8 or so play in the UPPER a arm shafts. Is it safe to drive this way? If it hadn't been for the brakes I never would have noticed it. Also I will eventually have to repair so is there a bushing in there or do you just replace the whole shaft?

You can buy a kit that comes with the end caps and a shaft. Personally I would fix it asap.
