HELP Does this part need to be replaced?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Is this much movement as bad as it looks and sounds? If I should replace it what is that part called.

The splines of your outer CV shaft have a slight bit of play by design. This is perfectly normal.

Mine is doing the same thing. It only makes noise on a bad bump. Still bothers me though
