What is the normal amount of play in the front output shaft of the NV231 transfer case  :?:

I was under the jeep tonight checking the u-joints and I found that I have about a 1\2" of up and down play in the front output shaft  :cry:

Normal or not

TIA

I'm in the NE near Peter's drive in. You are welcome to come over after 5;30 pm. Or if you can cut out at work you are welcome 8 am - 5 pm near the Austrian club.  Neither have a heated garage.

My front driveshaft was just recently replaced so it might be a good reference for ya.

I was just under my TJ checking out stufff and found that I have about 1/4" of play in the up and down plane. So if anyone does know if this is normal or if the driveshaft should be 100% tight please let us know.

Since you have noticable "play" at a standstill...What does it feel like at speeds? Any vibrations?

I thought these were held tight with bearings and/or shims, when those start to let go, it gets loose.... But I could be wrong.
