4:88 front diff swap

So I finished the 4:88 swap on my 92 yota 4x4 truck. I love the new found power and how smooth the take off`s and shifts feel when turning over my 33 inch tires.

I started the front diff change over today. I tore apart the new front 4:88 and stripped it down to ready it for my trucks long drive axle to remove the ADD system. I noticed that the short passenger side axle had a fair amount of wobble to the axle. I been searching around (including FSM) for what the service limit to the end play is and where its measured.

Can anyone tell me if they have encountered the wobble and what you did to correct it? Does it even need corrected? Should I replace the needle bearings?

Thanks
