Question Half shafts Playing around!

I just hoped on the old creeper and went about inspecting the under belly of the old girl. I noticed play in both half shafts. What should I do to fix them? I am guessing they should not have play in them. Also if I need to replace them. what will it cost me in parts?

what do you mean by play? there is supposed to be a little bit, just as the rear driveshaft turns a little bit when parked, not much, but still some

If I hold the shaft and then push in towrds the Diff it moves. Also if I push up and pull down it moves. I fuigerd it should turn like the drive line but all the other play is bothering me.

well the way the inside of the cv works, there must be a little play as there are basically flexible joints....., much like the wobbly of a socket set
