What needs replacing when the axel moves in and out about 1/4"?Bearings?

Also make sure that your bearing flanges are tight.

Where is the bearing collar?

Also make sure that your bearing flanges are tight.

Are the flanges the metal on the out side and inside which pass thru the body?

Look at the second page of the Max II Axle Replacement article. The first two pictures show you the nuts to check.
