A little play where the pitman arm connects to the power steering control valve is normal. That movement operates the valve and sends fluid under pressure to the right or left side of the piston in the hydraulic cylinder. If all the other steering joints are tight, you probably have too much play in the steering box. See how much play you have at the steering wheel before the pitman arm starts to move.
