Propshaft problem ?

Post by cookie monster »

Hi all,
Under the paj on the weekend giving it a check over and noticed that the rear propshaft has some vertical movement at the transfere case end. The uni joints are fine, just seems 'loose' on the spline.
Are they supposed to have some float in them, or should it be nice and solid on the spline?

Cheers
