Default Play in 201 rear wishbones

The build went well and everything feels nice except for some play in the rear wishbones on the inner hinge pins. Do people shim the so they dont move backwards or forwards? if so, how much? and at the front or rear?
Thanks
Tim

shim it out mate, size may vary. i have shimmed mine at the rear and it seems to work well, but you could go short, med or long wheelbase

Yep, shim it out. Shims to the front will give you a long wheelbase, stable car so start with that. There should be no play, but arms still have to move freely. I have an assortment of 3mm shims just for this as it has been an issue on all the cars I've owned over the years.
