Sometimes the fully floating driveshaft can float out completely:

The driveshaft wears, and the flange wears and eventually they give up.

rears have the play, fronts play is removed using shims,the play quoted is after shims have been fitted,its not necessary to be exact
As a follow up to this James if I wanted to replace drive shafts and drive flanges how do I tell whether I have 2 or 4 pinion pinion diff? Can I tell without removing the diff?

2 or 4 pin diff do you mean if so it wouldnt matter ,and neither does the fact rear half shafts can move in/out
Yes. Unrelated to the in / out movement looking to replace the half shafts and drive flanges as there is some wear between the two but different shaft part numbers quoted depending on whether 2 pin or 4 pin diff eg frc7680 for 2 pin and frc8094 for 4 pin...bit confused.

Don't know, can you tell from the photos I included with the original post?
