There is always some slop, even straight out of the box mine had like a guarter inch of play between spinning a wheel and the other side moving. Used to have same with center but I effectively locked that up with some silicone ear plugs...anyhow, some play is expectedI was using the Kraton today and sounds like is grinding bad .pick the car up and turn the wheels but everything looks ok..how much play should the differentials should have..look like they may have too much play...
Hold one tire and turn the opposite side. Do that for the front and the rear. Then hold the front wheels down on the ground so they don’t move and rotate the rears forward. Then do the same for the front.I was using the Kraton today and sounds like is grinding bad .pick the car up and turn the wheels but everything looks ok..how much play should the differentials should have..look like they may have too much play...
I will take the differentials apart ..but think is the center differential..I already have the front differential sun gears replace .they broke like a week of having the car..There is always some slop, even straight out of the box mine had like a guarter inch of play between spinning a wheel and the other side moving.

Grinding though, this is NOT expected and NOT liked, you need to investigate that and figure out exactly where it is coming from before driving again.
You can verify by doing like @jondilly1974 suggested first, no need to disassemble anything if it ain't the problem... especially since diffs are full of the dread and nightmares of all hobbyists...I will take the differentials apart ..but think is the center differential..I already have the front differential sun gears replace .they broke like a week of having the car..
I did .both looks like they have about half turn before they move .that was on the air .front wheels on the floor the center don't have much play.Hold one tire and turn the opposite side.

Hmm half turn is a lot of slop. Something is wrong. I don’t know exactly what, but a guess is a broken pin or sun gear. Pull the diff and inspect.Ok

I Will...what type of oil I need for the differentialHmm half turn is a lot of slop. Something is wrong. I don’t know exactly what, but a guess is a broken pin or sun gear. Pull the diff and inspect.
Depends on which diff.I Will...what type of oil I need for the differential
Thanks...?Depends on which diff.
Front and rear are 10k stock
