I replaced axle bearings, and i still have side to side play. Could this be differential bearings ? if so, is there any thing i need to know before i pull it out and replace them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
no, the slop is inside the carrier, where the axle rides. could this be the shims or gears. it makes a rattle like bad u-joints when letting off the throttle.
no it is in where the axle rides in the carrier, could it be shims or gears. ? it makes a rattle like a bad u-joint when releasing the throttle and coasting.
