Sloppy 10 bolt
I have excessive end play on my axles. I replaced axle bearings, axles and rebuild maybe 150k ago. One of the seals has been leaking for the past 8 months .... sigh ....
I'm going to tear it down this weekend and see what's going on. Anything to specifically look for? Also what are the best options if the pumpkin is toast? I'm not sure that I want to put any money into it. It's a 2.73. Assuming that the axles are still good, do new bearings have any effect on the end play? ... or even still new axles and bearings?
FYI - I still have the original u-joints in the drive shaft (282,000 miles).

Let's not give this thing too much credit as it's been sloppy for a while and is so bad now that I've parked it.

Gears looked good ... and no metal in the carrier. I've got a couple of Moser axles/seals and bearings on the way.
