I have just noticed that there seems to be quite a bit of play at both rear wheels. If I jack it up and remove the parking brake I can move the rear wheel in ad out quite a bit. I have not tried to measure it but it seems excessive - you can hear them thunk back and forth. I have never messed with rear bearings or rear axles before, so I have no experience here. Do I read it correctly that the Maximum axle shaft end play is 0.030"?
Looking at the diagram it does not appear that the outer bearing is set up to take end thrust, so this must be on the inner end? How is it adjusted?
