Explain alittle more what you mean by lateral. If you take the spindle off they should haves tons of play in them. I think the only thing holding it in then is the boot. But just going out and laying under the jeep and pushing them side to side, Im not to sure. |

Just went out and checked mine and I have play. Id say its around an 1/8in of play, maybe less than that. I would love to take those boots off and clean them all up and repack it all with grease. I just dont like this lifetime grease thing. |

Noticed the same thing last night while under my KJ. The thought of damage crossed my mind but glad it seems normal for the rest of you as well. |

The thing that would not be normal would be if you took the knuckle off, and the shaft fell out of the Diff housing. Then the clip/snap ring has broken off, and it needs to be fished out and then replaced. |

I do not believe the front dana 30a has c-clips. Mine moves in and out alot with the spindle off. I believe they just fall out. |
