Hi guys.

I was switching over to summer tires and tried to get the drums off to
check the brakes.

While pulling on them I noticed that the rear axle has some side-to-side
play. Not a lot, maybe a 1/32 or 1/64". Hard to measure, and I was in a
hurry.

I searched the archives for 'axle play' but didn't see anything.
