I hope someone in the know can give some info on this- I can grab the driveshaft of my truck and turn it about 30 degrees either way. I've had the rear cover off to do the axle seals and the play is in the small gears in the spool(I don't know anything about differentials). Is this normal? The wear patterns looked ok and the diff makes no noise at all. I thought it would of been pinion to ring gear play but it isn't. Why did my rear diff wear so quickly? I check all ford 8.8's that come in the shop for this and none have been as bad as mine. I dont tow anything and the truck is very light...I dont get it. It's a 5-speed and I have to shift around this problem to avoid jerking the driveline(happens mainly when letting out of the gas pedal quickly). Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!! Josh
