You better address it soon! It means the pinion nut is loose and the pinion is moving in and out. I'm surprised it hasn't grenaded the ring and pinion already!
You can change the yoke with no problem. The 60 uses shims rather than a crush sleeve to preload the bearings so you don't have to worry about over-tightening it.......but if it were me I'd pull the cover and have a little look see inside to find out what's going on.
