Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) ahhh sps66 bearing play?

[LUnderwood]

Ive got a brand new sps66 and just noticed after 3 weeks this turbo is getting movement from side to side, not enough to hit but still! Is this normal?

Thanks

Up/down, side to side is normal. It is oil clearance. End play (front to rear) that you can feel, is bad.



It is probably just fine.

It's OK, my charger does the same thing. Its a sp66
