I just had this issue. No matter if it’s new bushings or dust caps it still has play up and down. Like there was play was on the bolt. I fought it forever and went thru everything. I found out that the sleeve inside the upper A arm was either incorrect or worn. I bought new sleeves and tightened it right up. I used the pivot works sleeves if that helps but I’m sure new oem ones will work fine.
"serial" infers raping multiple persons.
This appeared to be a case of one person multiple times.
Then there is always the, "you can't rape the willing" argument.
You just can't buy a fellow that many shots and not expect to put out.
Tease.
