DL95 FEL-is this normal?

For the bucket to move sideways about a quarter-inch? I can slide the bucket back and forth real easy. The tractor was purchased new 13 months ago. It seems to me there should be some spacers in there... It's kinda hard to see in the picture with all the grease but the red lines show how far it moves.

I have the same loader and my bucket does that too. In my opinion it's Normal even on heavy equipment have the same as amount of play room I guess doing that way will it won't bind up during use.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if it had something to do with wear or binding up.
