I'm trying to figure out whether an outer axle bearing is bad. Years ago
I had my '68 3.08 rear replaced with a '69 3.23 posi, housing and all.
This housing uses tapered roller bearings that became standard in '70.
The bearing looks OK, but there is lots of slop in it when you move the
cage around, more than in a used front wheel bearing. I can also move
the axle shaft in and out between a 16th and an 8th of an inch when the
axle is installed. The outer edge of the tire is feathered around the
tire, too. Before I disturb the other side, I though I ask here to see
if anyone has experience with this type of bearing.
Thanks,
Andy
