was installing new drive axle "left side" where it slides into tranaxle it seems to have excess side to side and up and down play is this normal?
if not what do you suggest?
When I climb a grade or speed up I feel a bumping like a badly out of balance tire.
Is ther anywhere I can get a diagram of transaxle

Install left axle shaft by lightly tapping axle shaft into transaxle. Ensure left axle shaft will move inward and outward approximately .079-.120" (2.00-3.00 mm) and cannot be pulled from transaxle.
When installing right axle shaft, install NEW snap ring and NEW axle shaft bearing bolt. Tighten axle shaft bearing bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
