rear axle end play
#2
You may have a worn C-clip, there is no other "adjustment" for end play. The C-clips ride in a groove at the end of the axle(not the outside end, but the end inside the center section) and when they wear, you can get a lot more end play. I don't know if there is a spec for allowable end play, but I would think .030-.060 would be more than enough....but then again I've never heard of anybody having to replace the axles or C-clips due to excessive end play. Have you measured it, and how much is "quite a bit"?

I have not measured it yet. Just noticed it last night on the lift. I replaced the LR axle and all bearings and seals on both sides. I ordered another axle today for the other side. Maybe the groove is worn. i will get another c-clip --do you know the part number? or does NAPA know maybe?

They don't call them "stealerships" for nothing
