Do you like my new wheels ? Matches the red stripes and the dark glass roof...more vids to follow however do you think this wheel play is "Chevy" normal ? could it be a wheel bearing ? the other side does it also. 15 sec youtube clip is linked.....cheers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBAtgMjS ... e=youtu.be |

If that's the rear, then yes a bit of sideways movement is normal as that will be the c-clip in the half shaft going side to side in the groove. If play gets excessive then you may find it an idea to change them. |

I had to explain the wheel in/out movement to MOT testers on more than one occasion. |

I've got a half shaft and c-clip, I'll record a short video and show you what you're experiencing. |

This is the splined end that sits inside the side gears on an open diff unit. The c-clip is what retains the half shaft in the axle tube, and I guess with time they can wear down. http://youtu.be/3hY2Zo7deuQ |

My C clips are not worn at all, car is 28 years old. Had both of them in my greasy mitts yesterday. They are hardened. |
