Default Prop slop??

Yesterday I notice that the prop on my F115 has a very slight amount of back and forth play on the shaft, perhaps 1/64 of an inch. When I mounted it I know I torqued the nut tight. Is this play normal?

Thanks

If the prop is loose on the shaft, no it should be tight. If you are talking about the propshaft endplay, that is OK.
