ok so i just went out in the parking lot (im at work) and the wheel was turned i could see the drivers side axle so i grabbed it and ta da there is an inch of play left to right or in and out of the tranny. check the axle nut on that side and its finger tight so i tightened it as much as i could with what i have whitch is channel locks lol i guuess it better then nothing and peened over the lock tabs again going to replace it and see if it resolves my issues
do you think it will? could that have been the issue?............and your right rabbit it did/does sound like a circular saw thats dull as **** cutting metal lol
