I just replaced that bushing. There is definitely a lot of play in your video of the front diffrential bushing. I ended replacing both bushings in the front. The one in case front (your video) is only available with the differential cover. My mechanic and I ended up kludging together using the rear support. pressed out the bushing and aligned it up to the differential case. Toyota dealer the other day said it was $220+ wholesale for the differntial face plate with bushing and only had 4 available nationally. Hence, the kludge. Plus they had accidently sold me the rear support.

With mine the minute we took off the bushing spacers and bolt, you could see the rubber had broken in multiple spots. So replace yours. Bad news is, the sloppy shifting (on and off power clunking) did go away. But then it got a louder clunk D-N-R. Good news axle and hub flanges on the way, right passenger side moving quite a bit. The driver not as bad. Hopefully, mine will be gone after this change.
