Well with the diffs all in situ as they should be I can wobble the out drive up and down and front to back or round and and round if you take my meaning.

If its the outdrive for the driveshafts, Ie the ones that go to the hubs, its normal. Its because they run inside the rubber seal.

If its the input shaft, Ie the one that goes to the spur gear, thats not so good.
check bearings and shims.

Hope that helps!

Its the drive cups coming from the diffs to the drive shafts not the hub end.
