Yes, when you're pushing the lever forward, you will find that much play...but you need to pull the lever back, [towards centre of car],remove that slop and adjust clevises accordingly.
On the rear, you'll have return springs which are effectively holding the cam in correct place...if you push the lever [towards rear of car], against that spring action, you'll find play too.
