Sloppy front differential yoke

I submitted a post last week about a clang from my front end when I'm on it in 4wd. Well I took the diff off and I'm not missing any teeth on the gears, so that's out. All other suggestions were checked and were not the cause. I did find that the front yoke to the driveshaft is sloppy though and I believe that to be the problem.

My question is what am I looking at to fix this? Is there a bearing in there that I can replace or am I in need of a whole new yoke?

I have a 96 XJ with 32's and 4 1/2" lift.

It is the lash of the pinion bearings. You might as well get a Master rebuild kit, odds are the preload shims for the pinion are shot also.
