its suppose to move in and out but if it was moving up and down that would cause a noise possibly,but it is more likely to be the propshaft bearings,you cant always tell by looking or seeing if theres play in them unless they are totaly knackered
ah ok thanks yea no movement side to side just a small amount in and out so theres no way of checking prop bearings but noise sounds like its coming from rear left ok checked again and there seems to be a smll amount of up and down play on the left hand side drive shaft

it is hard to pin point noises on a fl due to design of the drive train,if you removed the complete prop and vcu and drove about and noise still there then it isnt the prop bearings!!

check all drive shafts for play on inner cv,as i said the noise isnt always where you think it is!!!!
