There should not be too much 'up and down' bushing clearance movement. I think thats what your asking. The pedals should work fully and freely. Those bushings shouldn't be too loose, but, should still work fine if they are a bit sloppy. It is a lot of work to change them.
I'd recommend installing the spring, adjusting the free-play to 1.0-1.5", greasing the bushings and see how it works.
