I think at this point, since it needs to be replaced anyway, your best bet is to simply pull out that axle. Give everything a looking over and if you're still concerned about other issues, you can report back with anything you may find.
On the Differential Side there May be a Spacer/Shim/Washer that adjusts the Fit of the C Clip.
When the C clip is installe and the fit is propper the Axle should have no in and out play.

If you exchange your Axles or replace with a New Axle be sure to keep the Spacer/Shim/Washer as they are matched to the Differential.

There is different thicknesses of Spacer/Shim/Washers that you can buy.
