Yeah I noticed this as well. My drive cup (pinion) moves up down and sideways about 1-2mm inside my diff case. I thought I had a bad bearing, I havent torn into it or looked very closely. Its the case? Anyone else notice this? is there a easy fix? This is just asking for my ring gear to strip out.

CRASH - Maybe you could try the 8ight bevel gears. I think they seem to be made of a better metal. Just looked more clean and beefier when I compared the LST spiders next to the 8ight spiders while building a CD... Might be worth a shot.
