Does anyone know how much axle play is normal? Im talking about how much the wheel should be able to move in and out on the axle. I am having horrible grinding noises, and the brake drum housing is rubbing on the dust cover for the brakes. It was in one section, and I tapped the brake cover back a a little, and that was fine for a while. Now, the noise is worse, and it looks like the entire dust cover is getting rubbed (as evidenced by rubbing marks and missing ground down metal on the dust cover). I measured the slop in the axle, and it is about 2mm as measured with calipers. It seems like more, but that is what it measured. So my question is, how much axle play is normal? Any ideas on what is going on causing the drum to rub the dust cover?
I did get a Torq locker installed, and the issues with the rubbing started after that.
Thanks!!
