Default yoke play and specs

would anyone know how muc up and down play you should have at the yoke at the diff case? I can move mine up and down. what should the messurement at the bearing surface be? i have 1.390 and 1.395 on mine
I have installed new bearings and still have the play. i need to know if I should install new shafts or this play is normal.
Can anyone help?
If I need new shafts where do I go I live in Canada, I see the pricing is all over the place.
I have a 383 stroker pushing 450hp.

I have also read where people have lowered the snubbers to stop stuff from breaking does anyone have any info on this?

HELP Please
Tim

I'm not sure of the exact measurement, but lateral play on the side yokes should only be a few thousandths

Sorry, I don't really understand the question- you're saying that you have 1.39 inches of play? Where?

sorry I will try harder to clear up my question
1- the stub shaft ( yoke shaft) measures 1.395 at the bearing surface
2- I have about 5 thou play in and out on the stub shafts ( this is ok)
I can move my shafts ( at the yoke outside the diff carrier) up and down about 30 thou. ( up and down being towards the road being down nad up being towards the car body)

I hope this helps you help me
thank you in advance
Tim
