Hello all. Took everyones advice and checked a little closer to see what was causeing the axle end play.
Come to find out it was the large spacer that was too long. I had gotten a different rear axle housing that had all the parts still in it. I took it all apart and cleaned all the parts. I now had 3 spacers and when I went to assemble it won't you know I grabbed the long spacer first. I put the dial caliaper on it and it was .065 longer than the others. Took it out and put one of the others in and all is fine.
Just want to say thanks again for everyones help. It sure is nice to come here with questions and not be put down.
Thanks guys.
