I think he was talking about the AXLE NUT !!!!

I am with Brent...
( Differential carrier wear and worn spider gears that are allowing the axle to move in and out )
I just helped a buddy with a 34 rear that go all bagged out. His axle mover in and out about 3/16 the carrier was junk
It now has .006 of in and out play
