Default Rear upper control arm

Is there supposed to be a gap between the washer and the rear upper control arm (or whatever it is called)? It looks like it should but the pin is shiny indicating the arm is moving around. The other side also has a gap but is not shiny. Anybody knows what is normal?

Yes there is a gap.
This is what mine looked like before removal two years ago.

That's what I tought, thanks. It looks like in your pic there is some rubber between the washer and the arm, on mine it's not there. Is that part of the arm or a separate piece?

you may need to install new dog bone bushings,
do both sides,
this will restore camber

Ok I will look into it, thanks. Dog bone, that's a good term.
