Post by: ferret on October 29, 2006, 22:34:05

Should there be any sideways play on a front flange on an lt230 transfer box or none at all.

All LT230's will have a small amout of play in the front output flange.
I got a recon from Ashcrofts and that had as much play in it as the one I took out so I assume this is normal.  :wink:

the bearing is a roller ball type not a taper bearing
so 4mm of plat is perfectly normal
