There is some fore/aft movement as there is compliance in the bushes.  To 
completely eliminate fore/aft movement you would have to replace the bushes with 
heim joints.

A kind soul just pointed me to these pics of Rob Grady's personal LCA's (10,000 
points to the first person who figures out how they were made):

Obviously Rob's LCA's have no fore/aft movement whatsoever, which should to lay 
to rest once & for ever fears that lower wishbones will rip the sway bar off the 
crumple extension (anyone who has ever stood one on end and flexed it knew that 
argument was a Red Herring all along -- the sway bar is bendy as can be, which 
makes it totally unsuitable to serve as a backwards thrust arm).
