Loud clunking noise from driver front axle

My right front driver axle makes loud clunking noise when going in reverse, thought it was the rear u-joint, replaced, not the problem. Raise the front of the vehicle off of the ground and the driver side front tire moves all over the place, very loose. The axle moves up and down! Post a video of it when I get to work.

My question, is that I had the axle seals replaced, and something internal was leaking in the diff, so I had to take it back to the dealer and they sealed it back up again. Could this of caused my problem, and if so what exactly is going on. Again I'll post a video here shortly.

Thanks,
Chad

Don't drive it! Your wheel is about to come off!!!!!! You need a new wheel bearing!
aka unibearing. Hey where are ya at I have a used wheel bearing that's in good shape.
And a have all the tools needed to change it. Axle-shaft stays in place, so there
is no worry about messing up your seal.

YJ's don't have control arms unless he cut out the stock parts and linked it.
