Noticed the rear output on my center diff for my kronos xtr is getting alot of slop in it. Its not leaking yet, but its allowing it to hit the heat sink on the motor. time for a new diff? Tride to post video but wouldnt work

No bearing is fine. The video i tride to post shows it better. With the center diff out, the output shaft has alot of side to side play. Like the stub shaft is wearing the center diff housing causing the hole to waller out
 
Looks like there is a bearing carrier that slides into a cradle and is captured by the motor mount? Bearing a snug fit in the carrier? Carrier fitting snug into its cradle? Bent drive shaft? Excessive wear on the drive cup input shaft? Pop the diff open and check there is a shim in there as in the exploded view? Appears on the exploded view the spur gear also functions as a diff cap? All o.k. there regarding fit? All speculation on my part not having it sitting on the bench in front of me. Trying to help. Good luck. Cheers. 'AC'

As Bruce McLaren was known for saying, "Everything is right, but something is wrong."
 
The cradle fits snug on the bearing, but that out put is left free. It has the shim under the sun gear, as i had it apart when i put 500k fluid in it. The rear drive shaft had a slight bend, corally sent me a new one under warranty and that one also has a slight bend. The way they have the center diff offset in the chassis makes for some pretty extream drive line angles.
