I had the tires off to get ballanced, and noticed there was play in the lug bolts in the rear, like i could move them back and forth (front to rear of car) about 1/4", where as the fronts didnt move at all, is this normal in the rear? if its not, what is it? and is it dangerous to dirve it?

Hmm I think I know what you're getting at.

Remember the brake rotors / lugs are not one piece. The rotors mount onto the spindle which is what the lugs are actually attached to. Usually the spindle has that 1/4" of play you are speaking of inside the brake rotor. You can't move it back & forth anymore b/c a) your tranny is locked (automatic) or b) your parking brake is on which does not allow the rotor to spin w/ the spindle. But if this is what you are describing, you're fine. If the lugs themselves are loose like, feel broken loose, I wouldn't drive the car anymore until it is fixed.

ok, thank you, forgot that they arent attached, and my park break wasnt on, but it was in gear.
jsut had myself worried cause there was play in it.
