Question Drive Shafts How much side play?

Ok I'm not sure on the terminology but

On the DAX

Left hand drive shaft has play (end to end taken up by CV joints) when the car is at rest

Right hand one is tight, so presumably puttting a force on the Renault adaptor / roll pin and possibly the seals (that could account for the oil leaks)

So how much play is acceptable and how do you check the play amount? Just wiggle the shaft in full bump / rebound and neutral? Is there some device to check this?

Or is it that the Dax got the measurements wrong on their suspension (doubtful with Tojero on their team)

Perhaps adjusting wheel further out will sort this but then the rim will be outside body shell. So another problem?

Thanks
Ian
