Please don't totally ignore this one. But I'm not a member of any other car sites and don't have the time to research a good Ford F250 site. So, I am begging for some understanding and answers here. Besides my '74' Challenger (thought I'd better throw that in) I have an old beater '84' F250 2-wheel drive I use for going to the dump and hauling the camper with. There is a howling sound coming from the passenger rear side. When the truck is parked and I pull and push the truck from side to side very hard I can see the wheel/drum assy. moving in and out from the backing plate about 1/4". And I'm sure this is what is causing the sound I hear. I've heard that some of the rear axle assys. had some kind of pre-load or axle adjustment and am wondering if it isn't simply loose. Or, the bearings and or races are totally worn away. I've been driving it this way for about a year now, it has recently gotten worse. I am hoping to get a few good ideas before I get home from a business trip.
Thanks abunch, sorry this wasn't a Mopar question.
