I've finally figured something out, I have considerable play in the passenger side differential side gear. It can move up and down (from the spider to the axle) at least 1/32", and it also wiggles sideways.
The other side gear has zero play.
Now the questions:
-is this bad? (my guess is yes)
-can this be fixed with a sleeve / do I need a new diff?
I'm pretty out of my comfort zone here, I don't really know what's normal. Once I know what it's supposed to be I could maybe fix it? Or find a replacement?
