Is this amount of “backlash” typical in the differential?

So I’ve been chasing a clunk noise for a little while.  Seams to be most noticeable when taking a corner.   Everything appears tight with the suspension, half shaft splines and axle shaft splines/ wheel bearings.

I’m wondering if it is in my LSD of my -2.   In the video I have the car in gear, the left wheel is on the ground and the right half shaft is disconnected.  When I rotate the right output shaft of the zf there appears to be a lot of play or rotational backlash.  I’m not sure if this is typical and expected.

Thanks in advance
