Re: rear axle end play
Axles & carrier must freely rotate. .005" is perfect. .010" is acceptable.

Re: rear axle end play
Thrust washers are about 1/4” thick if close to that it’s time to open it up. Ring gear to pinion clearance is.010 +/- .002 so if you have .025 or more then it’s worth a look. Best is to check these when a rebuild is done and write it down for reference in the future.
