If the whole wheel assembly slides in and out then the CV joint is most likely NOT the problem. There is supposed to be play in the axles for when you turn the steering wheel. I would be looking at the ball joints or control arms or the hub bearings. Since the wheel is mounted to the spindle and it in turn is mounted to the control arms, and the only movement allowed when it is all put together and proper is the wheels turning from side to side for a left or right turn.
Your CV axle is a shaft that has a Constant Velocity joint ( hence the name CV axle) at each end and is inserted into the transmission and held in place by a snap ring and has a spline shaft at the wheel end that is held in place by the axle nut.
Testimonial: "thanx for the info. I knew most of this. but.. where the cv joint it self fits into the "cup?" that slides 2-3 inches in this unit. i will check the c"

Damaged or porous casting surfaces

Damaged or stripped bolt holes
Inspect the case side cover gasket (54) and case side cover inner gasket (59) for damage. The gaskets are reusable if they are NOT damaged. Clean the case side cover gasket surfaces
Install the 1-2 shift solenoid (315A). Connect the transaxle wiring harness. Install the case side cover. Refer to Control Valve Body Cover Replacement .
Important: It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.
Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, The ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.
Reset the TAP values. Refer to Transmission Adaptive Functions .
Good luck , this job is a real pain in the ***
