I would disagree ever so slightly----having had a few problems with older radius arm bushings that loose their elasticity and "shrink" a bit and let the I-Beam slightly move back and forth according to the vehicle's direction. In worst case scenarios you can hear a small click when moving from forward to reverse, extreme cases one tire will move far enough backwards to gently rub against the inner fender.
If this is suspected a careful inspection of the frame-mounted radius arm brackets could show the arm is or has begun to pull itself through that bracket. Because I live in a pot-hole ridden state they've taken their toll on those brackets.
They're fairly cheap and a bit of a challenge to DIY replace. I replace the factory bushings with urethane parts from ProThane or Energy Suspension.
Just another thing to know and inspect.
