Default T34 endplay - excessive...?
with the engine off (obviously) i can move the shaft about 4mm up/down side/side - is this too much, on a good one should there be any?

JUST STALLED THE CAR PUTTING IT IN TEH GARAGE, RESTARTED AND A HUGE CLOAD OF BLU SMOKE CAME OUT THE BACK, SO I THOUGHT I'D CHECK THE COMPRESSOR FOR PLAY WHEN I GOT IT IN, ITS QUITE WOBBLY - COULD THIS BE WHERE ITS UNHEALTHY THIRST FOR CASTRROL RS HAS COME FROM...?
