Excessive play suspected between Autobox and subframe

Hello!

Would someone please check if their 480 (Pref Auto) has this much play in the front gearbox mount.

I need someone to put a large screwdriver between the subframe and the bottom of the gearbox,measuring how much the box moves up and down.Mine seems really slack even though both nuts are done up tight.

Not just that,but for some reason the new wishbone I fitted not long ago has its bush coming out of the bone!Im suspecting the excessive play has caused this,but Im unsure.

Its a quick easy check with wheel turned to one side if someone could help me.

Many ta's!

Steve
