Too much endplay question.

Damn guys. When somethin's broken or badly out of spec, the correct thing to do is repair it. I don't get it. The spec is .010-.012" so it's FAR out of spec. But do whatever, I guess.

Yup. I am having this very same problem fixed at the moment.

If you do nothing, it will only get worse and may end up costing a bunch more.
