I have eliminated that side slop with teflon bushings. You can cut a slot in the bushing with a slight V opening towards the outside of the bushing. It will then allow you to push it onto the journal until it snaps into place, leaving no gap in the spacer. I make the spacers out of black delrin, but you can byr white teflon ones with different i.d.'s and thicknesses as well.
