Default Used Rear, Axle Endplay?

I bought a used Auburn 3.42 10 bolt, Bolted everything up, and discovered I could pull the Passenger side axle in and out a little over 1/16"

What do I need to do to get it fixed, thicker C clips? and Is it driveable like this?

Are you using a dial indicator to check this end play? 1/16 is .063 just for you to reference.

Thinking back I had to re-use 1 clip out of my 2.73 Torsen unit. They looked like the same thickness although I didn't measure.

Eh, I'm not so worried anymore, I talked to a few people and I guess it's normal for these ageing Auburn Units. Only drawback I guess is maybe it won't hookup as good.
