SS Half Shaft

Can't find anything loose yet in my front suspension, but the inner CV joint on the passenger half shaft seems to have 2-3 degrees of play, regardless of angle. Only additional play seems like normal gearbox lash but I'm kinda new to this car. Haven't checked the drivers side yet.

2010 SS 5-sp performance package (so with limited slip differential) 110K miles.

I'm not up on the current parts availability scuttlebutt.

Thoughts?

Edit - adding somewhat irrelevant pics because why not?

Play like that is normal, but see if the other side it similar.

Same on the other side. About 1/4” at the disc radius. I’m no expert but don’t understand the reason for it.

Engine and trans mounts are shot.

Yeah, this car is just for the street. For now. I don't want wheel hop but I don't want vibration either. Got an OTTP motor mount. Thinking about a stock mount set, So if I don't like the OTTP I'll have a ready fix.

As for the end play, It is similar to wing flex on airplanes.
If it wasn't there things would break.

Are the OTTP mounts still available? I know TTR mounts are!
