Hi

Might be a stupid question now, but anyway:
Where is the wheel play coming from ? The bearings or is it in/out play due to worn rear end joke.
You say that the trailing arms have been overhauled. Try to retighten the nut on the inside that holds the spindle. You have to remove the halfshaft for this.
If it is wheel bearing play, your brakes will suck air unless you are running O-ring piston calipers.
Good luck. Gunther

Replace the yokes with the hardened ones. While you're at it, replace all of the u-joints too

The grooves where the "C" clip goes into wears, it gets "bigger" which causes the slop. I would recommend getting the hardened yokes which are supposed to stop this
