Default '06 Wolverine 450 4x4 Steering Shaft Play?

I seem to be developing a bit of play in the upper part of the steering shaft in the area that I have circled in red in the pic. I have maybe 120 miles on it and it doesn't seem normal to me.

Do any of you guys/gals have this problem on your 2006 or 2007 Wolverine 450?

Thanks in advance!

my 350 wolverine is the same way. i put in new bushings........three rides later...loose again! get used to it or just sell it...seriously.or take the shaft to a machine shop and have him make new bushings that last.
