CV axle play normal

Hi

Yesterday I checking some things out on the truck and I noticed that there was a bit of play where the CV goes into the front diff, had no signs of a bad axle, no leaks no clicking is this normal


Will post a video later

 

Yes, about 1/8 inch in and out is normal. Both sides of the truck should be about the same.

When they get loose there will be a lot of play, in/out and up and down and you will know.

 

So it is not just moving in and out there is a slight up and down where the coller meets the diff , no leaks , no clicking , it happens on both sides

Normal. Nothing to worry about.
You only need to worry about it if you get vibrations.
