NP-205 quick help possible problem

I was under the truck change the Getrag oil and engine oil. gave the Front drive shaft a quick wiggle. Its lose. I just chaged the U joints about 4 months ago and they are tight. My play is where the 4 bolt flange comes out of the transfer case. I can watch it move about 1/8 to 1/4 inch in and out. Did I lose a bearing or something. I'm going to look at an exploded view the 93 FSM and see whats there. I hope this is normal.

I just took mine out and put it back when we did the torque converter. No latteral movement in the flange. I'm guessing bearing also.

well i looked at the exploded diagram. I see the nut as a possible cause of a lose yoke. And since some else had it happen and its the easiest and cheapest thing to check and fix I will start there. I'll report back tomorrow morning or the next morning when I look at it after work. If anyone has other Ideas chime in.
