Lower suspension arm movement

How much moment should there be at the suspension bushing? I changed the lower arms 7months ago but when I had a poke about looking at turbo actuators and wheel bearings I thought I would give it all a wiggle as I am hearing a clunk every now and then. how much is this too much movement? When I changed these I was sure to torque up as required and did so at the correct ride height. Thoughts?

I have short video but that won’t upload.

Sorry, didn't mean private as I can't see it, I think I mean 'not listed' or whatever the description is Richard

doesn't look too excessive. Bush looks to be in good condition. Richard

looks good to me also
the arm moves front to back more than up/down so the easiest way to check is to put a wheel brace on a nut and see how much the wheel moves back/forth towards the mud flaps

your always going to get movement as the bush is oil filled another clue to being worn is the serrated edge of the bush will hit the inside of the chassis bracket leaving marks in the dirt please excuse any grammer/punctuation mistakes,i'm thick,thankyou
