Icon5 A rear wheel slides in and out

I heard a clunk when my wife drove away this morning so when she got home I jacked up the truck and shook the wheel it moved in and out about 1/8 of an inch or so the wheel nuts were tight no up and down or rear to front movement. Any ideas thank you for any help

Welcome to the forum

U-joints or slip yoke

Article here on slip yoke: Fixing A Driveshaft ?Clunk? : The Ranger Station

Details on your truck would be helpful
Year
engine size
2WD or 4x4
manual or auto
regular or extended cab

never know what info might be needed for getting the right answers


The 1/8" movement in and out on rear axles is normal
