Re: [Chrysler300] axel end play on 300C

Jeff and all;
Great info, but have you measured the end play after long use? Like just
before you pulled and checked the button prints on the ends? Should maybe
show some add'l endplay as the polish would indicate wear = more end play.
I'll be doing 4 wheel discs next year on my 2 letter cars, so am really
interested in the rear disc info.
