If you mean that at the front, with the hub off you can move the splines up and down, likely that is normal, there is nothing inside the stub axle tube to support it

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Try brushing the brakes when it is rattling, if it stops, then the rattle is brake related.

Some people report a clicking noise from the hubs if they are partially engaged.

A loud buzzing sound at around 30mph in 4th & 5th is the heat shield loose on the catalyst under the passengers feet.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
