Honestly, you can't tell the condition of the shaft until you drop it. Our original had slight play in it as well. I don't recall tugging on the new one to see if it had the same "play" though. But once I took the old one off the U-joints were very loose. Not clicking or binding yet, but I wasn't going to take any chances. We were about to put 1000+ miles on the X over the next week.
