How much play in rear CV's is normal ?

Chasing vibrations (suspect tailshaft ) in my Brumby with 92 RS Liberty rear diff the Driveline specialist shop found the rear R/H inner CV moves on the Diff spline a fair bit, now i've found this before & freaked out, took it to a Subaru shop who said it was normal, the outer does the same just not...

Well shop phoned back & they don't have the CV they phoned me to ask if they could put in, and they can't get one... I do as much work as I can on my cars / bikes but know when to farm it out too, I can't balance tailshafts or shorten / lenghten them ( properly ) so thought I was going the right way...

Thanks for that John ill have a look at what I can do in terms of alignment when I get the car back from the shop, they wanted $1600 to make a 2 piece, obviously I have said no . They found the rear RH inner cv needs replacing so I'm doing that now but I very much doubt it'll have any effect on my "...

cheers guys, do you think a 626 tailshaft will take EJ20T power or will it turn into a pretzel ? can't find any online but found a few WRX / Forester / Outback ones with carrier bearing & some from Autos, need to find some in local wreckers & take my 1 piece out & go & do some measurements i think. ...

Still struggling to get this sorted, taken it to a Driveline specialist shop now to get my 1 piece made into a 2 piece, max cost $600 they said.... Now say maybe can't be done as diff is offset & no where to mount a carrier bearing, shaft has been balanced but no help the angles are to far out !! th...

i dont think it has been balanced, with old uni vibration would come & go whereas a tailshaft balance problem i would think would be constant ? mechanic said even new uni has play because shaft hasn't been made properly, but (same as your recommendation RSR 555 ) 2 piece was only way to go to fix it...
