I'll take a look at that.  Maybe I can take the bump stops off and see 
what happens.  Then I'd know they were equal.  When I was adjusting the 
upper ball joints they had a tendency to back out a little as I turned 
them.  I put a clamp on each side to hold it in place, but maybe I 
tightened one more than the other?

No play there.  I was really careful putting it back together.  There's 
no axial movement of the upper arms.
