Should there be any perceivable movement of the outer hub ends of rear axles on our '08 Tahoe?
I am trying to isolate a rear area grinding noise and found the right rear axle can be moved both in and out enough to see and hear, as best as I can measure about 35 thousandths. Without even removing the wheel, in and out movement can be induced. I also more grumble from that wheel compared to the other side.
I had thought my noise was the differential but now this axle movement throws a question on the outer wheel bearing.
We're at almost 100,000 miles and both front hubs/bearings went bad so I hoping the same for the rear.
