So I have almost 150K miles, 4:10 gears with Trac Lock, and at least 3/16 or more in and out axle shaft end play. The rear end seems fine, with no unusual noise and just a small amount of fine metal paste on the magnetic filler plug when checking the lube level. From what I have read here the end play cause seems to be clutch pack wear. Question; Do I need to worry about failure of the differential? As in can the side gears spread apart, and if so, far enough to become a problem? I am not overly concerned about not having positraction because of the wear.
Any thoughts appreciated!
