depends on how much wiggle... most of the play is caused by u-joints, imho. its not supposed to wiggle MUCH... grab both sides of the u-joint and twist yer hands in opposite directions back and forth... if it moves, THEN you have trouble It is a good idea to have your drive line balanced. Depending on how old the u-joint is, early failure may be caused by out of balance. A drive line shop can install the joints and balance fairly reasonable. An ounce or prevention keeps the drive line in line. Saves wear and tear on transmission and the pinion bearing.

Can the front drive shaft be disconnected on a 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
if the vehicle is all wheel drive i would not suggest taking the front drive shaft out and leave it out and drive with out it due to the transfer case is designed to have resistance and with out the driveshaft you would have no resistance and could cause very expensive and major damage. if you are looking to replace the drive shaft there are are 8 bolts total the should be an 8mm size bolt for the socket or wrench your using could also be 10mm. make sure to mark the drive shaft so you can put it back in the same way it came out and that is really important because the drive shaft is balance for the certain way it goes into the vehicle and if its not installed the right way then at 40mph it will shake really bad.
