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.96 Polo Green Camaro<br /><br />Slp Cai,Flowmaster American Thunder cat-back,Catco cat,3.42 Posi rear, KMC Floss Rims 275/45/17 rear 235/45 front

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.96 Polo Green Camaro<br /><br />Slp Cai,Flowmaster American Thunder cat-back,Catco cat,3.42 Posi rear, KMC Floss Rims 275/45/17 rear 235/45 front

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.FTRA kit, Whisper Lid, free ram air mod, Richmond 3.73 gears, Dynomax Catback, Poly Tranny mount, Vette Wheels, Expensive Audio equipment :).

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.
