10 bolt axle bearing play
How much play if any is acceptable in the axle bearings? I have 0.004" up and down, is that too much? Thanks

Probably OK.
More important would be, what condition is the place on the axles in, that the bearings ride on?

Re: 10 bolt axle bearing play
I don't know, they looked ok 2 years ago when I installed them. I don't really want to pull them out just to look. I was really just wondering if that was enough play to be concerned about, if it was then I would pull them and look at them. I kind of thought there should be 0 play but wasn't sure.
