Default bad axle or diff?

i have been hearing noise coming and going almost like a control arm bushing gone bad and another noise like a tire starting to seprate but it comes and goes and onle when i turn right or even switch lanes to the right .... well will inspecting my car the only thing i found was the axles have alot of play up and down in the trans... i was thinking my diff is going bad but then i thought when i shake one axle the other should move to then but that is not the case... anyone have a clue whats going on... and btw this is alot more play than just a 1/4 inch

is the knuckle moving or is it the shaft? if it clicking when you turn it is an axle most likely.

if there isnt much play up and down id jack the car up, crawl under it and play with the axle. id bet its just a bad knuckle.
