In the centre pot there is a spring to keep tension that allows the outer shaft section to move slightly if you have alot of play your spring may be snapped but this would usually give gearstick vibration
The short shaft has the same sprj g but due to the nature of the design this only usually shows any movement when the car is on its feet e.g not jacked up n floating

When the shaft is removed the centre boot holds it together so play here is normal if your grease is old n thin it will also give you more play

If the outer boot shows longitudinal or linear movement e.g moves away from the shaft the inner spring clip will be broken or missing you should repair this immediately

They have movement, don't worry about it until it s**ts itself.

Normally the inner joint bearings fail first. The outer tends to click before breaking. No noise or wobble then don't sweat it
