Wow thats about 4 X looser than mine.

I say its a little too loose
Maybe my seal was helping mine not wiggle so much..
I would replace that seal and see if it feels better.

Pull the shaft out and see if it looks worn.

it has some grooves worn into it on both ends, I cant see that being the reason for that much slop, do you think the seal could of caused the grooves? and does anybody know where can i get another one of these, i am going to buy a new opti and seals but i could not find the drive shaft anywhere.
