Not sure what you mean by up and down.
The side gears run in the side bearing centers and are splined to engage the axles.
The top and bottom spiders run on the big pin.
Where is the movement and how much?
If more than about .010 or so, some other part is worn or the side bearings are not taken up enough with shims.
Remember the S spring has to go in and put pressure on the spider side gears, especially to put pressure on the Traction Lok clutch disc stack if equipped.
The big pin cannot move with the lock bolt in place.
You ought to be able to tell where the excess clearance is from if it's that much.
When you turn the pinion to rotate the ring gear, what does the spiders do?
You can come and ask but we can't see it.
