[T3] Top Torsion Bar Question


Hello all,
 
 Out of lurk mode I come with yet another question for the all-knowing list. 
 
 Lately, while checking for play in some new front wheel beaings by rocking the front of my '73 Fastback I've noticed some play. Thinking it was the bearings, I went to work on them only to find no play at all. I also checked the ball joints, though all 4 (and my tie rods) are without play. 
 
 What I did notice is that the trailing arms connected to the top torsion bar seem to have play in them. I believe it's an in-and-out type of wiggle, which may explain why I was able to replicate the same amount of play on either side. 
 
 Is this i common problem? Is it something I can simply adjust out? 
 
 Thanks in advance!
 
 - Doug :-)
 '73 Fasty
