Would that be to check what part of slack may be in CV joints? Or is there another reason? When you say raise subframe, do you mean lower control arm?

The axles/CV joints are new annular and just installed. I did check that the flanges at the diff moved along with the wheel.

I do need to do a better check. Only spent a few minutes checking lash because I was more concerned about the axle bolts possibly having loosened up. (they hadn't) I didn't put new washers on the axle bolts, but will. FSM recommends that we do.
