stub shaft to knuckle free play

Just wondering how much free play I should be getting at the stub shaft? I put a new wheel speed sensor in today and was poking around trying to find a clunk (confirmed end link bad) but while I was in there I grabbed the front axle u-joints and there seemed to be a bit of play where the stub shaft goes into the knuckle. I have manual hubs so I am not real worried about it creating vac leaks etc. The bearing itself feels great so I don't think it is bad, just didn't know how much movement was acceptable. I have brand new hub locks installed so it isn't slop in the hub either. Any thoughts would be great

I am not sure the exact amount but mine moves in and out at least a quarter inch and I have new knuckle seals, I am sure yours is normal..
