C1: Does anybody know how much axial tolerance there may be on a solid axel. I'm restoring an axle, and when looking at the construction where each axle is being kept into place by a lowsy metal plate at the end of the axle, I wonder. It looks to me that even a new axle must have axial tolerance, (I mean that you can pull/push the axle a tiny bit into the housing at each side). The bearings of my axle are ok and have no radial tolerance. The metal plate that locks the axel is not bended and has no wearing marks. What is normal, or how should it be? Please react!

Re: Solid axle tolerance
It is my personal belief that you are worrying about something you do not need to worry about. There is/is not some play in the exact location of the rear axle bearings in the housing - if the o-ring still makes an oil seal,you're OK.
Rocket science was in the early stages during this era. Best, Dennis -
