Recon side to side axle play? Help!

[shockwave67]

I just bought a Recon and noticed there is a 1/4 " (side to side play) in the rear if you grab the wheel and push and pull in and out. I tried tightening the rear axle nuts but that wasnt it. I ran out of threads. What is this and how do I fix? Its not like bad bearings with all around slop, its like it needs more washers against the inside lock nut to hold the side to side play. Its like a loose axle nut but if I add washers, I dont see what they will be locking against. All I see is the seal. The steel collar is 1/2" inside. Thanks for any help.

Grab a hammer and bang till something snaps. Take it to a mechanic. Have him fix it.

Thats what it sounds like to me! I would suggest getting a service manual for it then you can check these things and know what to do! :D

What it looks like, it your bearings.

Make sure that your splines on the axle are still good. We had a recon and the previous owner just keep tighting the axle nut on a stripped axle and the splines were shot
