Say, how much play is acceptable when you have it jacked up and you lift the wheel?
I mean, I can feel it move inside the housing a bit, but it's hard to gauge whether this is "a lot". I'm just wondering if there's any possibility that it's just a defective axle seal, something I can replace cheap and be done with.
Or do we have a spec on what the smallest diameter worn into the axle is acceptable? I have a caliper and can measure it when I pull it, I have to pull it to replace the bearing or seal anyways. But I need that spec with me before I start taking it apart so I don't have this thing strewn across the driveway awaiting a decision.
