Default Re: Acceptable rear axle wear

DITTOU2 - I am not an expert, but have seen groves worn in axles, and they have caused problems leaking for me. Five to six thousandths deep is noticeable where the seal will ride.

As to the wear where the axle passes through the differential gear case; I don't understand. In the gear case the axle is held by a bearing. Are you referring to the play between the axle and said bearing?
