Any Saginaw Power Steering Pump Experts?

Funny thing enough Dicer, I noticed slop in this part. Even took a video of it and shared it with people. No one had anything to say about it. The play is coming solely from this. I even spent 5 minutes trying to get that damn clip off, and then just ultimately decided to run with it.

Sounds like they are not suppose to do this!

Assuming if I took this apart, I would see the wear I'm looking for. Ordering a new pump now!
