How much should it move?
92 Wrangler, 4.0, Manual.
If I drop the rear driveline, reach up and grab the pinion yoke and twist to the left and right - how much slop should there be? (tires on the ground). How much movement would be "excessive"? A lot of slop would mean a worn pinion gear or ring gear - or both? Constructive opinions welcome, Brian |

I would guess about 1mm of rotation, but that's just a guess. Never actually bothered to measure. > Constructive opinions welcome, oops. ^_^ -- DougW |

Hi Brian,
You should feel zero play in the pinion bearings, but it'll rotate back and forth about an eighth of an inch using up the ring, pinion and four spider gear clearances of an open rear end, much less on a Trac-Loc, much more on a Detroit Locker.

That was a good answer. Thanks for the info Bill. -- <html><form><input type crash></form></html> nospam@zero.com Replace nospam with jetta to reply via e-mail |
