Stub axle play?

Featured Replies

1999 OBS, 5MT, 183k.

 

How much play is acceptable, if at all, at the stub shaft itself? I have maybe 1/16-1/8 both sides, in every direction.

Anybody? I've found a few threads regarding this but they get carried off by bad wheel bearings. I've now run into a 4EAT with the same exact play.

 

Is any measurable play acceptable at the stub, relative to the transmission itself? I understand the pre-load for the bearings inside the case isn't super tight to allow for heat/expansion. With this in mind, I'm bound to think that at 183k and 202k (4EAT) there would naturally be a small amount of play. I'm no specialist.

 

Basically, how much play at the front stub shafts does your scoob have???
