Part pictured/circled has some play. Is this normal?

With how cheap the UMI pieces are @ $90, and how quick and easy they are to drop-in install, I don't really see a reason to be messing around with replacing bushings and modding stock LCAs unless you are on a super tight budget. Alldata shows like 3hrs of labor but if it takes you more then an hour from jacking the car to putting away your tools I'd be surprised. Can install them faster then some CAIs.
Buy the time you buy new poly bushings, plate stock, and have them welded you're probably damn near the price of the direct replacement aftermarket LCAs with no hassle. If you're stock height and not looking to spend the cash you can skip the relocation brackets for now.

Yea the four bolts shouldn't take even the most shade tree mechanic more than an hour to swap out. The boxing of the stockers was a cheap and easy for me, I had the scrap steel laying around and the ability to weld so that cost nothing. The bushings were probably less than 50 bucks, but since my brother already paid that, no money mod for me haha.
