There is play at the front DS on my relatively new Adams shaft , all the bolts are torqued and the play doesn’t appear to be coming from the u joints but it’s rather the point where the shaft slides in and out. Diagnosing a clunk in the front end. I posted a video here of the play.

My stock 40k mile front shaft has play like that at the slip joint. Maybe less.

I don't have any clunks and wasn't really looking for anything. I just gave it a shake while I was down there the other week 🙂
 
You should try cleaning and greasing that spline up. I bet some of that slop goes away.
