Re: play in the rear axles

Going by what I have experienced there is a little in and out movement. From how the C-Clip installs on the inside of the axle.
IIRC it should only be very minor (MEMORY) No more than a 1/16th to 1/8th of and inch or so, Not much more. Someone else might have a more exact measurement for ya.
Side to side which you stated you do not have would be a bigger problem leaning toward axle bearing faliure.
I would say your fine as long as there no major movement.
