    I noticed some play by where the axle connects to the differential (Left side). I wanted to see anyone had the same issue in the past.

    Took my truck to the dealership due to my alignment always been off, and they ended up replacing the right axle. However, the left axle has lots of play.
    Should I consider to bring the truck back?

    Perfect

    another question
    How much play should be on those axles where it connects to the differential,
    I see that my left axle can go up and down easily about .200" to .300" of travel

    Just a bit over 1/4" is a lot of play.
