I'm probably just over ANAL-yzing this but got my new Moser axles in my 12 bolt with new torrington bearings and I got about 0.003" of movement up and down. All my experience is with press on axle bearings which of course don't do this.

If anyone has a 12 bolt sitting with no brakes or tires installed could you grab your axle flange and see if you can feel any movement? It sure would calm down this bout of anal-itis I've come down with. Thanks.

Dont worry my setup is same...and new....and has some play like that. The bearings are going to heat up and expand some so there's going to be some play...at least that amount.
