rear play
Jeep has started making a new noise..... only way to describe it, is it
sounds like a whining when on the gas.... checked all the obvious things am
about to check diff fluid and change.
Now this is my question, when I jacked the rear up and checked I had about
an inch where I can turn one rear wheel before the other moves (have
recently had fitted 4.56 gears and a truetrac) is this normal with this
setup???? or is normal anyway??? please say yes!

Re: rear play
Don't know what vehicle you have, but I just changed back axles on my 81
CJ, still up on stands, had dif cover off, still looks like new in there, no
locker, anyway I can turn one wheel a 1/4 turn before the other does, don't
know if this helps you or not.

Re: rear play
Some play is normal and is designed in when the gears are setup. Not sure
how much or how it's measured though.
