Re: [Chrysler300] axel end play on 300C

[Gary Nelson <Gary@xxxx>]

Ok here it is. 57 Chrysler/Imperial service manual, #D15899. Section II 
REAR AXLE, pg. 46 paragraph 16. SETTING AXLE SHAFT END PLAY. The first 
paragraph talks about the various shims available and states "The correct 
axle end play is .013 to .018 inch. One or more shims may be required to 
obtain correct end play".
