It's way more than 40 to 60 thou. 1/8" or more on one side. IF those bearings were at "spec" (.002 to .003 end play) would it even be possible to have 40 to 60 thou "wiggle room"?
I personally never noticed it with the previous set (radials) but I know it was there because:
When I asked the seller about the condition he knew right away what I was talking about. Mentioned he had the new Spax shocks put on. I got the impression that was to address that problem?
I really didn't pay "that much attention" to steering input until I got the bias tires mounted. Up until then I was still pretty much blown away by that "rapid accelleration problem". I gotta measure it, but I'm pretty sure 0-60 is four seconds or sooner! Is that bad?
