I a little play I doubt would be an issue.

More important to check the rubbers for cracks.

If in doubt remove the retainer plate and remove each rubber and check the hub side. Sometimes the rubber can fail and cause the insert to wear the wheel.

Check that the thrust washer in place before you put the drive spider back in. It sits between the wheel bearing and spider. Item 7 in the link. Good time to do the three o rings as well. Items 23 and 24.

The third O ring is item 37 from here https://www.st-1100.com/st1100-parts-fiche-final-driven-gear-st1100ax.html

Since the wheel is coming you don't forget to grease the splines with moly paste
 

Big Gaz:
Thanks Alan ,  i will try and share a video of the travel in gear , your opinion would be greatly appreciated

Yorkie:
The rubber is not the important part, the aluminium bush, item 3 on the first link is where the wear starts initially, I replace both every tyre change, costly but cheaper than the final drive.

From his video post on the Facebook page I would say it could be splines as well and possibly shaft related - there's an awful lot of free play and noise while in gear and it looked about 25mm of movement. I advised that he should pull the wheel out and check everything out.
