Is this normal rear sway bar play?

Including the Spyder, GT4, and GT4RS

I’m trying to track down a noise in the rear end that happens over certain bumps. I know the swaybar should rotate freely but it doesn’t seem to take a lot of force to move it laterally within the bushings. Just need to confirm if normal.

Hmmm, that does not look right. I have a Spyder, and my bar does not move like that. Come to think of it, none of the cars that I worked on have the bar move like that within its bracket.

I have yet to put it up on the quick jacks again, but the dealer ended up removing and re-installing my sway bar and the rear end clunks are gone.

EDIT**. I did put it up on jacks again and that sway bar play was NOT there anymore.
