Loose rear end problem

Loose rear end problem
I replaced my rear wheel bearings last week, but after reassembly, the rear end feels very loose. Pretty much every thing looks in good order, ie: rubbers, bearings, sway bar, ball joints felt ok but they had no weight on them when I looked, all cv's are less than 4000kms old. Although 1 of my rear shocks has been stuffed for a while now, and I had a little trouble removing 1 ball joint so could have possibly damaged that I suppose. Had it up on a hoist for an hour or so and can't see a definite problem. What do you guys think?

That, and even though you didn't touch the alignment adjusters I would at least get your alignment checked. When DaGou says tighten the axle nuts, he means 180ft lbs + 60 degrees, or around 370ft lbs. Don't go more than 75 degrees though, the axle stub shaft itself can snap with that much clamping load(ask me how I know).

a bad shock will affect the rear end if it is indeed dead or stuffed like you stated.
