k10 Wheel bearing play?

This is mostly for peace of mind, but I would like some advice.

I rebuilt the front end of my 1973 K10 Suburban (4x4) and I put new wheel bearings in it.
I assembled it exactly per the manual.
(from memory which is a poor witness: Torque the bearing nut to a larger number to seat the bearing (rotating the wheel); then loosen, then torque to lesser number; add locking washer with pin; then torque the locking nut to spec)

I'm the type of person who thinks to himself while going down the road at 70mph, "Did I torque that properly???"

The issue is when I jack up the wheel and grab it at say 9 and 3 o'clock, and do a little push-pull-wiggle, there is some movement!

Is this expected or should the wheel "feel tight"?

Thanks and happy new year!
Nick
