put it up on a lift yesterday and noticed theres about 1/8" of play in both front CV shafts, and probably a full 1" of play in the shaft between the front diff and the transfer case

has anyone else had problems in that area, im still trying to figure out where the problem is actually coming from, the transfer case or the front diff

the shaft between them does not move up and down, but i can turn it by hand quite a bit

the inner cups on the cv shaft move just a bit, the guy looking at it with me didnt seem concerned about that at all, just the play in the front drive shaft
Check the rear tranny mount make sure you didnt rattle the nuts loose or off the two in the middle........Might have to take rear skid plate down but do check that, Had this prob once cause i live off a dirt road that is wash board, I noticed a strange knock in the front just thought it was a shock that needed wrenching but sure enough the tranny bolts got loose.
