Your axle has "C" clips that hold your axle in place.
I found a YTube video that shows were they are.
When you push your axle in.. You can see in the video the pin that your axle is hitting.
When your pull on your axle... The C clip is stopping your axle from coming out.
This is characteristic to the GM axles

I honesty think it's not a concern. Both your left and right axle has a small amount of play where you C clip seats in your diff and when it hits the diff pin.
Here is a video of the pin and C clip being removed

HERE IS THE CLUNKING NOISE WITH THE DIFF COVER REMOVED
