Any spec on the tolerance for the in/out play ??
If you're referring to the axle play at the diff? then nooooo. You want this snug like a bug after replacing the c-clip, I've read of bad things happening when any play is left here. Gear wear at abnormal rates. The benefit of grabbing a unit from the wrecker is it already has it's required shim so no modding or anything when you install it. This detail was rather cloaked when I was researching, but had both the old shim and replacement shim so was prepared to yank it if seemed suspect.
