Double triabgulation should get rid of it all, where the links look like this from above or below, XX. I notice that stick cliff climber, and many of the guys in this section, don't have enough difference in triangultion between the uppers and lowers. If all that is squared away then it's most likely slop in the rodends/balls.

No but i can steal one. This is Eeepee's berg by the way. Notice the opposing triangulation, which looks like XX from above or below. Now if the links are both triangulated the same way, // \\ , then they do nothing to keep the axle from moving side to side. Clearer? I'm bad at explaining things.
