A new set of bushings will be a very tight fit. You won't be able to shove
the rack around by hand.

Good to know.

I guess the bottom line is that determining how much play is
allowable, is best done hands on. I just don't know what a "new" set
of bushings feels like.

Anyone got a brand new Vanagon I can "feel"?     ; )

Thanks for the info Dennis!

Neil.
