That's an extreme amount of lateral movement, and would be caused by a very short bar.

For example, a 30" panhard bar will exhibit about .070" of lateral movement under a 2" bump. .070"!! It will be more with bushing deflection, but that can be solved with heims. Who here really needs to worry about .070"?
