Hey,
The front driveshaft from the transfer case to the front differential has some side to side movement in the slip shaft. This does not seem normal. Am I right?
Thanks

Normal!

That is, when it has been rode hard and put up wet.

The drive shaft should not have any wobble in it, it should extend and contract only.

I think it is time to get another one.

If you seldom use 4x4, for short periods, and it is not a lot of wobble, maybe you can get by a while.

Vibration might what you notice the most.
