I was looking under the truck the other day and twisted the drive shaft and noticed a lot of play with it before it would hit in the rear axle gears. Is this a sign of great wear? Re: rear axle [Re: nateyesme] #901894 08/23/08 07:15 PM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 11,595 Cincinnati, OH Adam F Forum Moderator Its possible. Could be other things though. Pinion nut could be loose and its not meshing properly with the ring gear. Could be a worn out u joint. You need to pull the drive shaft and check things out. 88 4R, 350 V8, R150 5 speed Sold <...uot; /> 97 4R, stock, daily driver 98 Sienna, kid and dog hauler, wife's ride Moderated by  4Crawler, 4x4Wire, kewlynx  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
