Default engine vibration // running rough

Yes, it definitely has some play 'in and out' so to speak. enough that I thought it was normal. The prop shaft doesn't really feel like it is loose on the axis it is spinning on, but it does move in and out. I assumed with the prop creating thrust, it just pulled the shaft tight out, or away, from the engine. What does that mean for the engine now?? ( I'm not talking about a quarter inch or anything, maybe 1/16 to 1/8 inch max of movement)
Thanks
