joomanburning Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joomanburning Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) 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??? Edited April 2, 2016 by joomanburning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I've seen that much on the old ea81andea82 cars, ran with no issues, the wheel hub to axle play has been the only issue I've seen that matters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
