14 - 8 No Name Axle End Play

Recommended Posts

I had my 14-8 No Name up on the jack with the rear wheels off today.  I noticed that both axles had about 1/8" end play.  Is this normal?

 

I think this is a 10 pinion limited slip version of the 8 speed.  It has 1 1/8" diameter axles and both rear wheels dig when trying to grab the ground.

As long as you have no play up and down or side to side you should be fine...

There's a fair amount of end play in a horse differential. 

Not sure of the actual spec but I've had 1/4" or more. 

It's the space between the axles inside the differential. 

Like stated above just be sure you have very little rotational movement. More than a 1/16" or so and you should consider replacing outer bearings.
