Re: rear axle play
4. With a backlash measured at 14.5" = 7/16" = 0.4375"; the rear axle nut is 5/8" = 0.625"; hence, calling the requested approximate backlash at the axle threads "X", (on the driver's side only), we can find "X" as follows: X / 0.625" = 0.4375" / 14.5" ; therefore X = approximately 0.01885".
5. Therefore if one measures the backlash for both axles on only the driver's side at the axle threads at approximately 0.01885", it appears the backlash for each individual axle measured at the threads would be approximately 0.01885" / 2 = 0.09425" for each individual axle.
Gee, I love that kind of talk.
