Default rear end wheel play
If I grab my rear wheel and give it a good push and pull I get about 1/8 of an inch play. I can do the same to the other side and it moves about the same. I have to really shake the wheel to get it to move. Any thoughts on what this next dent to my wallet is going to run me???

how did you come across grabbing your wheel and shaking it to see if it moves?
