Default Is this normal or causing my vibration?

So I have a slight dron/vibration when going over 60. Its in the front driveshaft as there are no vibrations with the shaft out. It is a slight dron/vibration the comes and goes every 2-3 seconds.

All U-Joints are new but when looking at the shaft there is some slop in the slip portion of the shaft, movement side to side in the splines. Is this normal or could it be causing the vibration? The rear Tatton shaft has ZERO movement there...

Short video of what I am talking about. You might be able to more hear the movement than see it.


Thanks

I would think if you removed a component and the issue is gone, that problem is that component.

Yes. But it could be a balance issue as well. But if the splines are worn out no use balancing it and I'll just buy a new one...
