So, I have 20 thousandths at my wheel hub when I push (pressure towards locking pin) and pull (pressure away from locking pin.) However, when I try to pull the wheel hub in any other direction (up/down/left/right/diagonally) I get zero play whatsoever.
Is this normal? I checked this same test on my Dad's Tacoma and it was solid in any direction, but I have no idea if this is even relevant. I just replaced the spider gears and locking pin because my spiders were worn pretty welll with some pitting and some minor chips. When I had the axels out I looked at them and didn't see anything alarming there, but also not sure what I am looking at on them. Ring and pinion checked out at 13 thousandths, and also were not damaged cracked pitted or anything like that, looked great actually.
