Topic: Rear axle end play?.... question

[Complete Loser]

Well, when i had my rear jacked up and installing tires, i noticed i could pull the drivers rear axle out farther than seemed normal. The pass rear axle pulls out about a 1/4" or a tad less. That seemed normal to me. But the drivers rear pulls out like 3/4" or so.

Is that acceptable?
If not, what is the problemo and remedy?

Ive had the diff cover off when changing all fluids. Nothing broken or jumping out at me.

Is this a d35 or something else?

3/4" of play is excessive

[Jeffy]

Yeah, something's up with 3/4"  There should be about 1/4" of play with the center pin in.

bearing carrier, but then should have the same problem on both sides - i can't see the center pin being worn out that much and the c-clip is about 1/4'' thick so that's not it either - i guess taking the diff cover off would give the answers to this. the end of the axle is about 1/4 '' as well (between the c-clip groove and the end) so that's another negative - combine the c-clip and axle end and you still get a max of 1/2'' at which point the axle would actually come out. the only other thing i can think of is a cracked carrier but i would think there would be some nasty noise coming out of it when rolling so unlikely).

I will check it out.

Its the stock rear axle. So i think its a d35.

Ok. Imuh dumbass.
I took the tire off to have a good look at the actual axle movement. Its exactly 1/8".
The pass side is exactly half that. So all i can assume is late hours and too much guiness (and my buddy saying thats waaaay too much axle movement) caused me to over guesstimate the play.

Google started throwing mine in the SPAM folder about 2 weeks ago.  I cleared them by selecting all and clicking Not Spam.  Now they're all good here.

At first, I thought I wasn't getting any because the GMail interface doesn't give you a view of the SPAM folder without expanding the view.

thank you 95yj. That looks like its gonna be it. I dont 'directly' have gmail. and i use outlook express.

Buuuuuut, the company i go though does use gmail. so i have to get on their site, and change these settings it looks like.
Idiots! I NEVER use a spam filter just for this reason.
Now if i can figure out how to turn this crap off.
