So I just had car up in the air with the wheels off to do a brake fluid replacement
Upon torquing the rear wheels with the vehicle still in the air and the parking brake engaged
(loved the lug nut extenders for anyone sitting on the fence about them https://steelmantools.com/products/...-tool-set-3-piece?_pos=1&_sid=1ecf8f0da&_ss=r )
I noticed that there is say 3/8" or whatever of radial movement in the rear left wheel/rotor while torquing?! This isn't seen in the right side and the parking brake is holding because it's only the ~ 3/8" play and nothing more and it still holds the wheel while I torque to 150 but the wheel moves very freely upon releasing the parking brake.
I'm trying to wrap my head around why the play is there
Why is it seen only on the left side and not the right
Whether that's normal or a problem that needs to be fixed?
Any thoughts/input?
