transfercase flange
The flange on the transfer case which the rear drive shaft bolts to has some play in it. I can move the flange in and out of the transfer case about 1/8". It appears to be loose when it is out, but when I push it in the 1/8" it appears to be seating itself. It move from 1/4" out and can be pushed 1/8" in. I removed the drive shaft, and the nut holding the flange on was loose so i'll replace it, but even with it tightened up there is still some play. Is this amount and type of movement normal or acceptable?

I think it is just an oil slinger? Or the seal was not the correct one for the case and it does not seat flush against the case.
It seems to be doing it's job since it is not leaking. I would leave it be unless it really is so bad you can't stand it

Thanks for the info. I probably will leave it be for now, but if you notice there is oil from something sprayed above it. but there doesn't seem to be any fresh oil on the flange or the u-joints. Oh well it's driving now so I wont go screwing that up.

It it is really leaking, gravity would have taken over a long time ago and the bottom of the case, etc would have oil on it.
I think your safe.
