Bearing play in freewheels and freehub bodies are set by shims, which makes the process a bit cumbersome if you want to get it exactly right, so it's not uncommon for them to have a bit of play. If it really bugs you it is possible to pull the unit apart and try a thinner shim, but usually there isn't much to gain by it performance wise.
