Default just installed cv axle, little play normal?

as the tittle says I just replaced my drivers side cv axle and after install there is a slight left to right play no up and down or rotating play. The car is still shaking when accelerating just not as bad. If the play is normal than I will change out the passenger side next weekend with the same brand, If the play is not normal than I will need to return the new one and get OEM axles for both sides. Here is a youtube video I shot of the play.

No this actually isn't bad at all. I wouldn't even consider that "play". It needs to have a bit of movement in it. Bushings or control arm joints, that can cause this shaking.

I wish the under side of my car was that clean!

What about the vibrations while driving? I just replaced my driver side cv axle today with an aftermarket one and the car shakes between 15-20mph and then goes away.
