Should there be 2 to 3mm of in out movement here? 20180921_133154.jpg 20180921_133145.jpg
 
No, there's usually a shim or two under the circlip. There is almost always a little movement, not usually that much though.
 
Many thanks benpalmer in my case it looks like someone got their decimal place in the wrong position!
rears have the play, fronts play is removed using shims,the play quoted is after shims have been fitted,its not necessary to be exact

As a follow up to this James if I wanted to replace drive shafts and drive flanges how do I tell whether I have 2 or 4 pinion pinion diff? Can I tell without removing the diff?

2 or 4 pin diff do you mean if so it wouldnt matter ,and neither does the fact rear half shafts can move in/out

Yes. Unrelated to the in / out movement looking to replace the half shafts and drive flanges as there is some wear between the two but different shaft part numbers quoted depending on whether 2 pin or 4 pin diff eg frc7680 for 2 pin and frc8094 for 4 pin...bit confused.

you mean 10 or 24 spline diff, have you thick or thin drive members
