[Healeys] rear wheel movement

[Oudesluys]

This movement, play is caused by the differential and is perfectly normal.
Play is usually measured at the drive shaft flange with both wheels on 
the ground and on many British cars appearantly you should get worried 
if you can turn this flange for more than 90:. I prefer a lot less.
