I think that means the spherical bearings are going bad, Im not sure if you can replace them or not. A new a-arm is around 50 bux tho.

Just go to Ebay and get a set of Houser, Lonestar, or sumthing.
They sell really cheap on there...brand new!

Before you go buying new a-arms, check and make sure your bolts are tight, my bolts were loose from racing and i thought my bearings were shot in my brand new houser long travels. Check the blots and if they still move side to side after tightening then go and buy new ones.

Sounds like bearings are shot or possibly the circlip that holds it in place has let go. They are replaceable, but don't use the stock stuff it is ****!!!! You can buy polyurethane bushings to replace all of them for $100. Look in the adds in the back of dirt wheels or three/4 wheel action. There are a couple of guys selling thenm there. The polyurethane will last longer than the quad
