My Jeep has a manual trans. and when I release the clutch to engage the wheels (at any speed), there's a pretty loud slapping noise -- obviously from the engagement of the tires.
I lifted the rear end and noticed I could turn the rear tires 1/4 revolution in either direction before the axle moved. My father says "That's a lot of play." My question is: "is it?" Is this normal for a jeep?
Thanks K.
