i thought my balljoints were shot cuz it was banging when i turned, but then it got realy bad to the point where i didnt think it was the ball joints so i jacked it up and my ball joints were ok. So i inspected the whole front end and i grabed everything and tryed to shake it to duplicate the sound and my left cv shaft has a decent amount of play. The right one does too but not as much.

Mine do not move at all. Or at least an imperceptible amount.

I just went out and checked mine. Mine have less than a 1/32" of play on the ground and almost nothing lifted up.
