From the FSM it should be no more then 0.005",if more you need to add a thicker shim behind the side gears which you can not do in a ARB that you are getting.Could have worn side gears that need to be replaced as pairs and everything measured to get the correct shims and end play.

There is usually between 1/8 and 1/4" play on the axle shaft with a C-clip axle. Once you start driving it, it will go away and you won't notice it. A little axial play is normal for the C-clip axles.
