Question New Axle Installed - A new rattle arises

So I installed my new driver's side axle after nailing a real back construction bump from them cutting up the pavement. Its driven real great for the most part with a mild rattle that just got a lot worse today. It only happens between shifts, or if I pop it out of gear, sometimes, as seen in the video. I hope you guys can make heads or tails out of it from the noise. This video was taken after I retorqued the axle end nut, along with all the other nuts and bolts that were involved in the install. I noticed when I had the nut off the axle, I could slide the cv end in and out a few inches, without dislodging the axle from the transmission. Is that normal? God I hope so ... Anyways, here's the vid. Thanks for the help!

Edit: Sorry for the terrible audio! If anybody can cancel out the road noise let me know. There is a specific noise heard off and on in the video which is the axle vibrating, you may have to turn up the speakers to hear it over the other crap that I'm driving over.
