Default Pitarm track-bar movement.

The part where the pitarm attaches to the trackarm has play in it.

What is this called and how hard is it to replace?

Tie rods, 1 Pit Arm top of draglink, 2 bottom of draglink at pass knuckle. 3 connected to the draglink goes to drive side. 4 at drive side knuckle. There is a 5th one on the end of the trackbar, unless this has been replace with hiem joint.

Is the play rotational or side to side or up and down. Rotational is normal, side to side or up and down is bad TRE.

How hard is it to replace? I have access to the shop at school so specialty tools really isn't an issue.
