I was chasing a squeak in the rear suspension and rocked the rear wheels.
(So gripping the tyre with both hands and rocking the wheel back and forward).

I noticed a very slight movement, must be less than a mm, in them.
There was also a squeak, but i couldnt isolate it, will need to check further.

If i found this slight movement in my FWD KH i'd assume the hubs were worn, but is this behaviour normal in the AWD with rear diff?

Squeak might just be the handbrake. It is a dry squeak sound.

Yes. I'm thinking its probably just some part of the suspension. I'll try and find it on the weekend.
More worried about that movement in the wheel, although it was only slight.

False alarm, theres no movement, i'm just feeling a slight knock transferred from somewhere in the suspension when i rock it.
