Stanton, granted there is some tire flex from me pulling and pushing, here is a vid of the side gear when I pulled the centre out. It has also started marking the spline of the axles about half way along the spline giving me cause for concern as for leading to a weakening of the axle, as for the noise, under load it makes no noise, on coast or through a parking lot, it sounds like a jam can full of oil with a half doz lug nuts being rolled along, and no amount of speaker volume hides it!!!!
