  Pulling on each rear wheel. After jacking up rear, No play on left wheel, little play on right wheel? How tight should it be. No play at all? Thks john

  If you mean pulling in and out on the wheels, and the rear axle is working okay, I see no problem.

  Pulling like side to side very little play just about feel it, very very little

  Is that side to side of the car or the wheel?

If its the car, everything is OK.

If its the wheel, you may have wheel bearing problems. You will have to pull the drum and inspect the bearings and the axle housing for wear.
