Default Issue with my rear end...
So I decided to change out the shocks today on my T/A, and when I had the car up and I was putting the tire back on, I noticed that I could push the entire rotor assembly about 1/8 of an inch into the rear end, and then pull it back out with a quick tug. Both sides did this. Is this something I should be worried about? Thanks for any help guys

I would check the bushings on the control arms.

Nothing to do with the control arms. It's just the way these axles are held in with c-clips.

So this is just something these cars do because of the c-clips? no need for replacement then?

Yup, it's the c-clips. My cars have done that too
