Drive Shaft End Float

[Nick]

Does anyone know how much end float there should be on the drive shafts? My NS has about 6mm and the OS is almost rigid. (Should say that I had Ford replace the gaitors on the NS back in Feb.)

 

Thanks.

If there is 6mm end float on an outer CV joint, there is definitely a problem - probably the spanner monkeys not having reassembled the CV joint to the drive shaft properly. If the play was in the joint itself, I would expect a great deal of noise.
