Shot fine. Just haven't noticed that before on other 3rd gens (or 2nd gens).
I've seen this before...
The back end of that bushing has a raised ring a few thousandths high that should prevent it walking out. If that gap is bothersome you can use some Loctite 290 (wicking grade threadlocker). Apply a generous amount of 290 to the gap and allow a few moments for it to wick into the joint space... Then tap the bushing back flush with a non marring soft face hammer or wood block. Allow the adhesive to cure for a day or so then you can wipe away the excess and go play. It's unlikely the bushing will ever move again That's how I fixed a flappy bushing on one of mine.

Cheers
Bill
