Does feeling play in and axle joint and small clicking mean the axle is bad?

I have driven the van at different speeds including highway speed and I can't recreate the sound that was making me alarmed. 

I had axles go bad not just get better. I did not talked with the mechanic that actually tested the vanagon. I don't think that they would have needle grease packed the joint and not charged me. Heck they did not even charged me for the diagnosis. 

Thanks
Tony

If the axles you have on there now are the original,  you might want to do
yourself a favor and NOT toss that axle shaft.

The aftermarket axle assemblies are crap, and if it's toast in 3 months you
will not be able to put the good lobro cv joints on the Chinese axle, the
splines don't match up.
