I guess you mean radially and not axially. They tend not to be worn too much radially and I might be tempted to find a better one. However, I always set them up with the minimum end float allowable (about 2 thou?) can't remember exactly and this may involve several goes at tightening the gear up and pulling it off again. I would definitely replace the centre bearings if the slightest bit worn, including the race too and of course this means it would all be flapping one end with bush wear. My experience is that the blind end seems to be ok, or maybe I haven't checked!! Nice bushes mean good oil pressure too.
Any other comments welcome.
Barry.
