Rearend Question

While I was doing my brakes I noticed excessive movement in my RR hub. I could rotate the rotor(when attached) a good 15 to 20 degrees. The Halfshafts turned ony slightly. Could the U-joints be going out? What else would contribute to this problem?

TIA,

Josh

In addition, your half shaft is bolted to the rotating wheel assembly. I can't imagine any way that you could get a slippage between the half shaft and the rotor!

U joints going south would be grinding and/or binding during movement.
