While rotating tires on my 99 TJ with the Dana 44 rear end I noticed that
there was some in and out play at both rear wheels. Not much, may 1/8 inch
or less. I notice this while holding the tire at 9 and 3 and pushing in and
pulling out.

Am I looking at a problem or is this normal?

Thanks

 

I think a broken axle should be a time where we rejoice in getting a bank
loan for a beefy upgrade :)
