Rear End play

What is the/an acceptable amount of play in the rear end.

While ispecting my parking brakes I discovered that I could turn either rotor perhaps 1" before the axle would begin to move. I was doing this inpart to check for any play with the u-joints.

Its normal to have some play. Usually bad stuff happens before a rear end will show more play than normal.
