Had my rear pass wheel bearing changed last week and the mechanic told me I may need an axle. OK, no problem. I took the wheel off today to check the brakes and I could pull the bar for the axle in and out about 2 inches I would say. It made me think the axle is totally trashed. But then I took the drivers side rear wheel off and it did the same thing. Are both bad, is that normal?

Also when turning the rotor a get about 2 inches of play front and backwards with a pretty decent clunk sound coming from what sounds like could be under the middle of the car. Is that a sign of a bad driveshaft? Can the joints be rebuit or do I have to replace? If anyone has any insight let me know. Car seems to drive just fine. Every so often when making a slow approach to park i get a little feeling of a clunk one time but I thought that might be a motor/trans mount I could do in warmer months.
