    Did an oil change on my 2015 4x4 V6 yesterday. While did a quick check around the driver's side and noticed that the driveshaft to the front left wheel could move. I could move it back-and-forth, not a lot but it did move.

    Anyone seen this before? What kind of disaster am I facing?

    The CV shaft going into the hub from the front diff? Thats normal. The rubber boots allow some in/out movement of the actual shaft itself

    I don't think he's talking about the actual drive shaft. The front left wheel doesn't have its own. Wrong terminology being used.
