Is this normal? I raised both front wheels and moved it back and forth. Seems like theres a lot of movement. If not normal, what should be done to fix it? Thanks

The play appears to be in the final drive of the transfer box, mine is similar. You need to pull back a bit on the vid so everyone can see the driveshaft play vs the play in the transfer box. That amount of play in a transfer box is not exceptional but it looks like your Cardan could do with some grease to the various zerks.

Thats the widest my phone can frame. I saw it needs some grease. Lost my flexible grease gun and got a wrong one which fitting wont bend. Suck! But anyway, does the movement within ok range? Much thanks.

Looks like an acceptable amount of play, but I can hear a bit of a metallic ringing like your TC might be a little low on fluid.

I am debating right now wether its the drive shaft or my balancing the tires. I just cheched since im having slight vibration. I just replaced the filter and fill the transmission less than a month ago. I probably need to check the TC since i cant reach the plugs. For now, cant balance tires coz its worn out, lol! Drive shaft has no play but not sure if its balanced. Just too lazy to remove / install taking parts from my working disco. Haha. I guess Ill just have to wait until next month for tires. Oh btw, rotors and pads are new just to add about the vibration issues im having.Tnx
