3rd member: how much play to expect?
Out this evening for a short drive. I could hear a light ticking noise with the clutch in during a coast to a stop sign under light braking. So being the retentive type, when I got it home I jacked it up and checked the brake calipers front and rear. The ticking noise appears to be coming from the 3rd member. I rotate the tire slightly back and forth, and I hear the ticking noise. I did this while watching the drive shaft bolts and I can move the wheel back and forth (1 or 2 degrees) without moving the drive shaft. There is play in the 3rd member.
How much play should I expect? A couple of degrees of play and issue?
I'm not a burn-out guy, though I do drive fast (on closed courses, of course).
Anyone care to provide some expertice?
