Have some play in my j5 drive sprocket on the left side. Moves in and out about 1". The other side is tight. Going to haul it apart just wondering what I'm in for and what to look for. Thanks

Normal, there is a spring inside the axle tube.normally the bearings are pretty tight and the axle does not move inside. But it can and if it does do not worry about it.
