larry,
i believe the spec for end play is .005 to .007
there. i know(boy do i ever) that if it gets to about
.012 to .015 there will be a click on deaccelleration
for a while and then the spider gears go south..taking
the crown and pinion with it..if one is running fast,
the rear wheels stop turning...
try to shim the .011 carrier down a few thou.
