This bushing as it sits now moves side to side, metal sleeve and all in the riser coming off the axle. I have a new one to press in. Just wondering if that bushing moves or should be solid metal to metal.

Thanks

It should not move, it's an interference fit that requires a press to install.

I bought some cheap eBay control arms once and the bushing in one of the arms popped loose within a week. Spend a little more for good quality. It will save you money in the long run.

I bought some dorman arms with the body bushings. And moog axle bushings. Needed to fix it so I could drive it. I'll keep an eye on them and upgrade them to rusty's if or when they go bad or if money comes in for them first.
