axle shaft play
Thanks Paul.
Edit. Okay, the truck is not currently where i am. i asked somebody to look at a couple of jobs for me that might involve freeing off/heat, which i don't have. I spoke with him again and was told the play in the rear axle shafts is top/bottom, side to side, not in and out. I beleive the bearings at the hub end are taper roller so assume there should be some amount of play in them? Are these bearings adjustable? I have worked before on Mopar Dana 60 and 8 3/4 axles, replaced wheel bearings on the shafts etc, which had an adjuster thread on one shaft to take out/adjust end play overall. Are the IHC ones similar or more involved than this, and can they be adjusted without too much fuss?
My truck is an L112 with T9 4 speed, according to what i can find out the axle assembly for 110, 112, 120 are pretty much the same, mine has the 5 stud wheels.
Thanks Paul.
