I got my new tires on and asked them to check the alignment because its pulling to the right after I dropped the subframe. They told me they couldn't do it because there was too much play in the right rear upper control arm.

So I tugged on the wheel and didn't feel any movement, so I took it off and tugged on the control arm (and toe arm and guide arm just to make sure), and the upper control arm wiggled a little but didn't seem too bad.. but I took a video of me trying to move it. Is this okay or am I going crazy? Maybe they were just too lazy to align it?

I'm wondering what went off when you dropped the suframe for vehicle to be pulling to one side?

It was the front subframe so I have no idea. I think the new tires have me noticing it a lot more as well. Maybe I'll just upgrade the whole suspension instead??

I have those arms used, low mileage, let me know if you want them. Pay shipping and coffee. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1375266

I just don't want to spend the time replacing them if I don't have to (which I'm really thinking I don't, I mean potholes are bad here but idk?)... But if I do have to then I'll probably take you up on that!

These shouldn't move like that by hand as seen in your Youtube video. It's bad. This is why shop pointed it out.

Oh I see. It's weird then because it seemed like the left was moving about the same so I thought it was just the way the bushing was.. I guess both sides will need to be replaced. I have some suspension upgrades planned, so let me check my finances and see if I can just upgrade everything now. If not I'll let you know and take yours, thanks!
