Subject: Re: Identifying cause of play in Axle Half shaft
Not sure whether there is space for an endoscope but will investigate, I can borrow one if needed. The only option would be to remove the diff cover plate on the rear and I may be able to get access to observe whilst an assistant moves the half shaft.
My guess is the bearing in the diff has badly worn. I was hoping someone may have had the same experience and could comment on the symptoms and diagnosis.
I will update the post once I know the outcome but any observations gratefully received
