Dana 20 - rear output shaft end play

While changing leaky shaft seals on my Dana 20 (1979 CJ7), after I removed the rear yoke I noticed that the rear output shaft has a lot of play in it (video ). Unfortunately, I did not take note of end play before removing the yoke. While driving I did not notice anything odd (no noise, clunking, etc.).

Does the yoke affect the end play (i.e. should end play only be looked at after the yoke is installed)?

Or am I looking at a bad bearing or improper setup from the PO?

Any input is appreciated.
