Both  sides if open diff. 
If you place your hands at 3 and 9 o'clock, and push  one or the other and 
pull the other side and get play, that is in the  outer bearings. Similarly, 
6 and 12 o'clock.  That is not  good.



Chuck,
 
Isn't the play with hands at 6 and 12 is due to play in the differential?  
And isn't it "normal" to have some in that direction?
