Mic both sides after you take it apart and call the manufac. There is a little play-- as for the specs I can`t tell you. Also your ? is vague.

The slightest bit is not abnormal. End to end should have none.

if its a floating point bearing then i think thats normal until you get some oil running through it. if you get smoke on vacuum then the seals have gone. but it may be worth asking the turbo specialist that rebuilt it before you install it.

Thanks for the responses...what do u mean by end to end, i talked to the manufacture that i bought it from, they said if i thought it was messed up to send it back and they would send me a new one, i just dont want to wait 2 weeks for that if its not even really bad
