My truck is an 87 60 series, but I think this question applies to most Toyota 8.5" semi float axles. I suspect that my rear diff has excessive backlash (see How much is too much Rear Drive shaft play? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-much-is-too-much-rear-drive-shaft-play.1222852/post-13317761)
I would like to validate this before pulling wheels, brakes, axles, etc. The below video shows a method of checking backlash without removing all that. Will this work for a Toyota 8.5" semi float axle?
I know that if I actually want to adjust the backlash, the third member needs to come out.
Thanks.
