how snug does a cv inner joint fit into diff?

if you grab the outer race of the inner cv joint of a fiesta, should you be able to feel *any* up/down play between this and the differential housing? i.e. play which is movement other than rotational?

just curious that i felt this certain degree of movement in both sides. i couldnot think of why it would need play there as the cv joints should allow all the movement necessary. there are no transmission oil leaks nor any noises.

thanks

There is always a slight amount of play. Only time to be concerned is if it starts making noises or leaking oil.

The message from "beerismygas" contains these words:

If it's anything like all the other diff-sockets I've ever waggled it'll have quite a bit of play.
