axle noise, when car moves side to side
last fall i took my car to a transmission shop and had them preform a ring and pinion swap. The moment i got my car back i noticed a loud noise as if my wheels were loose. I turned around and went back to the shop they assured me it was normal. There was also another trans am that one of the mechanics owned and this one had more play than mine. the mechanic said it was the "C clips". Can anyone tell me if this sounds safe or normal.

From the 10-Bolt FAQ:
Is It Normal for My Axles to Have a Bit of In/Out Play?
Because of the "C" clips, yes. Note post #1 for a pic: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tr...roc-z-g80.html (87 Iroc Z G80 axle issues)
