Mines got a little play in the front bearing but it seems happy and doesn't leak.

Maybe just monitor it?

Mine? Just the flange moving a little. It's tight on the shaft, just a little play in the bearing I'd say.

It's minimal, translates to about 1mm play at the tips of the flange, maximum.

As I say, doesn't leak so can't be that bad. It did used to be perfect but I think a lack of wide angle prop caused it to wear perhaps...

its normal front end of is supported by ball bearing rear by diff gear so shaft will rock or move some unlike diff where pinion is supported by 2 taper bearings and should be no movement at all
