While under my 92 EB, I found that there is a noticeable amount of slack between the driveline turning, and the diff/axles engaging. I can rotate the driveline about 1/2 inch (guessing here...) before it engages the diff/axles. Likewise, I raised the backend, and rotated each wheel by hand; found I can move them a couple inches before the axle engages the driveline.
I also noticed slightly less play in the front driveline.
How much freeplay is "reasonable"? And what components should I be looking at/adjusting/replacing? I really don't hear much noise from back there when starting off or stopping. And I haven't put the 4x4 to use since repairing the selector motor....
I did replace both U-Joints on the rear driveline last week.
Thoughts/suggestions ?
Thanks! :
