Depends on how much axial movement. The CV stub is held in the side diff gear by a spring ring, by design there is some mm's play there. if it's a lot, then sounds like spring ring failed.

Thanks. I feel not too much! On the driver side no movement at all.

Somebody told me that the passenger side if they have the play of 1/8 or 1/2 inch they are normal! Thanks you for your time to reply.

There's a HUGE difference between 1/8 inch and 1/2 inch - 1/8 inch I wouldn't worry about it, 1/2 inch I would certainly be concerned.

Although I have not measured the play. However what I feel there is a little bit of wiggle in and out, not up and down at all!!
