    Slight Play In Driveshaft?

    So I have a bad u joint in my rear driveshaft at almost 200k, so I am replacing all 3.

    It's a two-piece shaft.

    I noticed that the slip joint has a little play in it, not much, but you can feel and hear it.

    Is it worth worrying about? It's probably—010" of play.

    Hopefully, someone will have a specification for the allowable wear on those splines.

    Otherwise, you may have to go with your best judgment.
