The plan was to replace my driver side CV axle/drive flange tomorrow. Got the OEM flange from Cruiser Outfitters and a HD Cardone CV Axle from Rockauto. Decided not to splurge on the OEM CV as I'm on a tight budget right now, but testing the fitment of the CV to flange on my countertop is not leaving me confident in my decision. There is the absolute slightest amount of play between the flange and the splines of the CV, however it's so minimal I'm wondering if this is normal? I feel like my gut already knows the answer, but wanted to post for insight here. Video below - what do you guys think?
 
Na I dont think that fitment could be too tight as long as it fits together.

Once theres some bearing grease in the area you should have no issues with that connection.
