Fan clutch forward play

Hey guys,

Is it normal for the fan clutch to have front to back play on the shaft bolted to the water pump pulley?

With the engine off if you grab the top of the fan and gently pull back towards the dashboard and then gently push towards the front bumper you shouldn't have any play.

There should not be any play in the clutch fan or the water pump drive. Make sure it's not the water pump first before replacing.
