        Thats very possible,i was working on a 20v 90 the other day where the driveshaft bolt had come loose about 15mm or so.Didnt notice anything wrong with it when i was driving it.

            Driveshafts are supposed to move axialy quite alot to compensate for suspension travel, they are free to move up unto the circlip along the splines to a degree
