Cam chain idler movement

My front cam chain idler rotates back and forth atleast 3/16th's from side to side. Is this normal or does this idler need to be replaced? Is there a tolerance on these and if so what is it? Of course anyone selling them will tell me yes, replace them......so that's why I need an opinion.

The rear on the tensioner moves alittle also but not enough to concern me I don't guess.
