  • Rear Axle Play

    Is it possible for the rear axles to become loose, If so what would cause it?

      No, not actually all the way out but it just seems like there is too much play in the passenger side axle. Its like its bouncing around in the housing.

        Axle bearing could be going bad. Does it make noise while rolling? Typically bearings will roar when they are on the way out.

          No, it doesnt make any kinda noises except for the loose rattling noise. I was thinking maybe its a bent axle,but im not sure how to tell. It didnt always make this noise. It started a few weeks after my rear end swap.

            If you think it is a bent axle. Prop your car up on jackstands, and make sure the car is in neutral. Then spin the tire, *fast* and see if you see the tire spinning unevenly.

                The way I found out that my rear axle was bent was when I machined my rear rotors. Out of curiosity, I bolted the rotors to the hub during reassembly and turned the whole thing. You could see the rotor move from side to side inside the caliper indicating that the back axle was bent. The caliper because it can sit in one spot really close to the rotor is a good way to tell if you have a bent axle or not.
