I was finally able to take some videos.
Car #1 04 LC 303k miles
Rear shaft play

Front shaft play two videos


04 white front shaft play vid #2 - https://youtu.be/9_flqYUO0rU?si=EF8127XXWKjisBfZ


Car #2 04 LC with 170k no clunk
Front shaft play
04 tan front shaft play - https://youtube.com/shorts/6eF-xDzb88w?si=0OGRr_zftBY1jmMy
It is obvious that car #1 has more play in the front propeller shaft. I think now the question is if the problem is cv/flunge combo or something with front diff.

Did you end up finding out the cause ?

I replaced my diff bushings and that played a huge factor in my case. @cruiserpatch sells a kit and tool

I have the same issue in a 2006 with 250k. My 2002 with 275k has no play.
