Lower control arm play/slop?

[ZR9B]

Is there a way to get rid of some play/slop at the point in the arm and t bar pivot? 1 side is fine the other is worse.
I have a rattle and that may be it. Looks like if I cut the bumper mount squeeze it together and re weld it , may help front to back but not up and down.
Any input?

The method you described is the only way to take up some of the play in the arm and pivot and is a normal practice. Has the suspension been rebuilt?

In the process of rebuild now....I have 2 sets of lca and both pass side are about the same. Mabe I'm over thinking the whole thing.
The 1 set has the sway bar tabs and thats the ones I'm working on now.

I left them at work. I was going to do a clip but not sure it will load

I do have the original set here

Just cut the bumper plate and close them up a bit and weld the plate back and roll on.

So I got a set of lowers with the sway bar mount . I noticed the pivot points are not the same. The 1st set have a "collar" so to speak on the bushing end where as the 2nd set does not. Also on the one with out the collar I can fit a .031 shim at the pivot point where I have the pointer at in the pic....if its not useful I'm only out 40 bucks.
