    Looking to you guys for a little help. Is this too much play in a CV axle? Video shows where it goes into the front differential. I have a clunk in the drivers floor - got under to look around and everything looks and feels solid. Braking and putting it in 4wd have no effect on the clunk.
    BTW - stock suspension - 75k
    Thanks for looking!

    My 2010 looked and moved just like yours. It also had a vide at around 40mph that felt like a fine rumble strip. I replaced the needle bearing there with the ecgs bushing and slop and vibe went away. Btw, talking with the local stealership, they said all that slop was normal and not to worry unless you did have the vibe. If the vibe went away when selecting 4x4 replace the needle bearing. My vibe went away when in 4s4 sooo, replaced bearing. I believe Tokyo has a new bearing for this and I have one. Seems closer tolerance on the axle shaft so maybe they fixed it. I am happy with the bushing fix. There is an official front end vibe thread that tells you more than y want to know. Page two or three on this forum. Hope this has helped you

    I saw that thread and was considering doing it. I do have a vibe in the 45mph range. What has me concearned is the clunking - I know that doesn't go away in 4x4 but I'll check to see if it affects the vibration
