While checking for play in the rear wheel bearings I noted some play which I think I have narrowed down to the splined portion between the axle shaft and the flange. I checked the u joints and can't detect play there. If I rotate the half shaft back and forth while holding the outer u joint firmly I will feel some free play when the car is on the ground on the drivers side. I feel no play at the passenger side. Is this sign of impending failure? The car seems to ride fine and doesn't make noise. Is this a normal amount of freeplay?
