Well when I move my driveshaft the whole driveshaft is good it's just moves that little bit where the spline is.

It will be fine. Just sounds alittle worn.

Could of been from mud/dirt/dry spline over the years.

No, it won't be right. I recommend you don't make the trip to Brisbane. your better off staying home, in fact we're all better off if you stay home.

Would you drive your car knowing the wheel bearings are failing? Would you drive your car knowing that it has low oil pressure? I would hope not.

So knowing that your unis are worn, why would you attempt a long trip when there is a good chance your driveshaft could catapult from under your car?

Ive driven 500+kms with the rear diff slopping about winding its head off with only front brakes. Travelling at 100kph for long sections. There was no other option.

By the time i got home it was quiet, for a noisy diff..

So, A small bit of play will be ok. But if your still not sure, go ask a mechanic.
