Here is the message from Owen: There is a mis-print in the workshop manual, the rear axle end play on your '57, is .003"- 008" NOT .013-018". I just did my rear axle and tryed to acheive between .003-.005" as things tend to loosen up over time. -- Philippe COURANT (Pau, France) Imperial 57 Crown convertible Buick 58 Roadmaster sedan - American Car Club de France (ACCF) : http://www.accf.com - Chrysler Imperial France : http://www.ifrance.com/c-i-f - Cadillac " Standard of Excellence " : http://www.ifrance.com/accf-cad - SportsCars : http://www.ifrance.com/accf-sprtcar [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
