Is this a normal amount of play in the axle?

I wanted to just double check that this is a normal amount of wiggle in the axle.
And I side note, can anyone spot what is missing for my parking brake? I am not sure what parts to order for it.

Looks about normal to me. With the c-clip axle, thete will be some play like that. That is the clearance between the inner end of the axle and the cross pin in the differential.

To remove the axle, you would remove the cross pin from the differential. Then push the axle further in until the c-clip clears the pocket it sits in. Then remove clip and just slide the axle out of the housing.

Gotcha, thanks for the reply. Just making sure, it's been making some noises when going around corners so been trying to eliminate reasons why it would be doing that.
Edit.
Also, can anyone spot what is missing from the parking brake in the drums? Is that crossbar meant to be on both sides?(I should get some proper pictures of the drums)

It's hard to inventory your brake hardware in the video. A few good still photos would be better.

However, you should have the same parts and the same number of parts on both sides. Be careful with the threaded adjusters. One is left-hand threads and the other is right-hand threads. You must have them on the proper sides in order to work. You should be able to find assembly drawings and photos online, maybe even in the "how to tech" section of this site or on some parts ordering sites.
