    It looks kind of similar to the flex I had when I checked mine a while back ... Even with the TT bushings rather than the standard bushings the flex is quite pronounced. If I get a chance I'll grab a pic for comparison tomorrow.

    Here's mine as a basis for comparison ... I'm on level ground and the camera is being held close to perpendicular to the control arm. Have you replaced the bushings recently?
