where is it moving? check to see if its from the u-joints, or from the points it attatches. is it moving at the rear diff pinion, or is it coming from the transfer case . which way is it loose. up and down or front to back

lets see it rolls back and forth till the drive shaft moves the tires, then it also moves a bit up and down (not much at all) I have noticed that when i put it in gear it shifts harder from r to d. but 4wd works perfect, and i do mean perfect.
