im verrry stumped???:(
 






There should be no movement.. If movement is present you need to look behind the wheel to see if its from the wheel bearing/hub or outer tie rod.
 






i forgot to lock the wheels, could this be the reason for the movement?

No.. There should never be movement of any kind. When you push/pull the tire you need to examine the back wheel, any movement should be glaringly obvious.
 






i dont have any movement at 6 and 12 though!!!!:salute:

movement @ 6 & 12 is typically ball-joints. Movement @ 3 & 9 is typically wheel bearings or tie rods.
