Default Front DS rotates (08 Rub)
I am curious to know if the the front stock ds should rotate about 1/8" back and forth. I put on a 3.25" RC Susp L back in April 10. Since then everything is running fine but I am getting ready for some new mods. So I just wanted to look at the front and back to see how they are . . . look great, no grease, leaks, etc. . . except for the movement on the front. Is this ok? Is it on it's way out? What is the life expectancy (lol). Replace it now?

Yes I run a stock DS and have about 3inches of lift however, my front DS boot is all mangled so I just keep it good and greased
