strange 12 bolt axle moves in and out
I jacked my car up and the driver side wheel has a little play, i can move the axle in and out of the axle tube. the 4 bolts that hold the axle in are tight. Im thinking maybe the wheel bearing is shot unless this is normal?? Looks like the wheel wobbles when driving down the street.
Any ideas thanks. Gonna call strange tomorrow and see what they say

Yes c clip eliminator. I probably have 40k on it. It came fully assemble from strange, but i did have a axle a few years back, cant remember what side though. Anyways, i pulled the driverside axle out tonite, i notice the wheel bearing looked fine but you could slide it up and down on the axle shaft, shouldn't the wheel bearing be tight around the axle or is that normal too? My passenger side has no play what so ever

There should be a spacer pressed on first between the bearing and axle flange. The bearing should butt up against this spacer. After the bearing is on there should be a wedding ring/band pressed on against the other side of the bearing. The wedding ring/band is what the axle seal runs on. If the bearing moves side to side something is wrong. My guess is the band wasn't pressed on far enough...

I disassembled, cleaned, inspected, measured and reassembled again. I then put a dial indicator to measure the end play and it turns out to be .007".
I guess that is nothing to worry about.
