Hey everyone. I have rotational play in both of my rear axles in the outer joints (nothing noticeable in the inner joint) so I disassembled them and found that the play is between the splined part of axle shaft and the inner ball bearing race (I hope that's the right term). There is no play in the joint mechanism (inner race, ball bearings, outer race/housing). Is it normal to have some rotational play on this splined part? There does not seem to be any wear on either part so I am wondering if they are manufactured like that?
There were no torn boots or lack of grease in the joints. They are OEM axles as far as I can tell.
It is hard to say exactly how much play but I would guess it's only a couple of degrees but its enough to make a clunk sometimes when I'm letting off the clutch especially with my 6 puck clutch that chatters a bit.
