So, yesterday I was talking to a couple of friends leaning on my truck and I wiggled the truck by the bed and I heard a clunking noise. I did a it a few more times to narrow down the noise and found it was the axles/ rear end. So, I Jacked it up and took off the wheels/ drums. I found that the axle moves in and out (like you were going to take it out), but it doesn't move up/down/ side-side. So I am pretty sure my wheel bearings are just fine. I am just wondering if the in/ out movement is bad or if it is nothing to worry about. It only moves anough to hear it and kinda see the movement, maybe a 1/16th of an inch of movement. And, both sides do it, not just one side.
I know the axles are held in by "C" shaped clip and then a pin goes in and holds the "C" shaped clips in place or something like that. Or, at least that is how it was on the 94' (I think) Explorer that I work on in shop at school.
Thanks for any help!
