Mid fuselage elevator pushrod bellcrank

Just finishing up my annual condition inspection and I noticed something I didn't notice during my build. The elevator bellcrank (Page 39-6 of the manual) attached to rear spar in the center section shows a bit of side to side play in it. Fore and Aft it's nice and tight but if I move it left/right at the point where the pushrods connect I get about 1/32" movement left to right. Not terribly concerned with it as I'm sure I'm just seeing whatever play there is in the bearing amplified by the 6" arm of the bellcrank.
Has anyone else noticed this on their aircraft? Vans didn't seem to concerned about it when I called them.....
