In the process of reinstalling my rear axles after differential work and I seem to have an issue. When I slide the axles in the mating surface isn’t flush, there’s about a 5 mm gap that feels sort of squishy. I can tighten nuts and remove the gap but it doesn’t "feel" right to me. Any comments on this this is normal? Replaced the O-ring and inner seal (per the FSM stating that they’re not reusable) and I’ve double checked that the seal is fully seated.
Apologies for the crappy photo. It was kind of dark and I couldn’t get the light right. This is the driver side and the nuts are just somewhat flush, they haven’t really been tightened at all, but this is the squishy gap:
Thanks in advance,
