so yeah, my rear output is loose on my np242. the u-joint is tight and so is the yoke of the diff. I can get about 1mm (rough guess..) of lateral play when grabbing the output shaft right after the rubber part, before the u-joint.
here's a little video I took

am I looking at a bad bearing? loose chain? I know rebuilding would be the ideal thing, but if it's a bearing I can replace without dropping the TC, that'd be ideal for now.
I tried using this pic as reference, but can't figure out what it could be : http://midwestjeepwillys.com/np242-transfer-case.html
the seal is not leaking
the front output is tight and when I put it in 4x4 I get 0 vibes and 0 noises even at 70mph. if I'm in 2wd my steering will wobble slightly (suspension is tight) on acceleration and I start to get vibes above 60-65mph under load.
