While doing a rear brake job on our 79 Scout I noticed that the driver's 
side axle has between 1/16 and 1/8 inch end play. Other side none and no 
vertical play at all on either side.  Differentials are NOT my thing. Do 
I have a likely problem on the horizon?  Also I might add - AutoZone 
messed up a drum that was almost on the limit anyway - they cut a 3/8 
wide groove about .015 deep- how hard are drums to come by.  I used it 
anyway but it's questionable.
It'll soon be time for rotors- they quoted me $50 and change. Is that 
good / bad or just ugly?  Mine are warped and missing a stud on each. I 
haven't measured them ( major lack of a mic) but expect there're about 
to the limit also.
Thanks for all the responses about my ignition lock switch.  I don't 
know about the AM locks but the 76 Vega measured right and works fine.  
Thanks Joel for the hint about the Harbor Freight tool but I DID IT with 
my thumbs using a nut pick - my thumbs don't work anymore but I GOT it.  
I won't do it again- for sure.
