Default Rear U-joint issues

I got a new rear u joint for my rear driveshaft and it seems the ends (not too sure what they are called) are not quite big enough just a touch smaller than stock the drive shaft can wiggle a little bit. I think they sold me the wrong one or is it normal for them to wiggle? I replaced one on my front drive shaft and it doesn't move at all.

Thanks
Nathyne

Ohh yes does anyone have a picture of the transfer case shift linkage handy? Not too sure if the rod part goes on the bottom or top I just can't remember.

Thanks again

Yes they sold you the wrong one. There are a few differnet sizes. Taking in your old one to match is best.

Here is a quick pic from the manual.
