    Default Play in Rear Wheel w/New Bearing

    Hi,
    I replaced the left rear wheel bearing and seals in my 1989 w/D35c. Everything went okay but there is no difference in the wheel play between the 'before' and the 'after'.

    The axle is in there all the way and the axle-hold-in plate is tightened up where it should be, but still there is the play - up-down and side-to-side. Please don't tell I have to replace the rear axle assembly.

    Not sure about the 35C, but the 35 non C and the D44 both have that play in the axle bearing. It is a Dana thing

    The right side wheel is play-free, maybe thats the side I should have been looking at.

    Never heard of such a thing, glad to hear it though!

    It would be nice to replace the whole assembly with a D44, but I guess I'm dreaming.

    I have my eye on one. I have had them before and they all have a little play in the rear bearing
