This is a problem that everyone seems to ignore and never mention. The factory original rubber bushing retains the arm much better.

In the cars that I've done, I've never seen it to be an issue. once the arm is locked in place by the retaining nut, struts and torsion bar, any slop is removed. I've taken them off vehicles with 12,000 miles and still as tight as the day they went in. Is it possible that the "looseness" is actually coming from the pin hole in the K-member? I've had to reweld several of those because they come detached inside the k-member.
