A small amount of float is correct.

Like Pete says, a small amount of "float" is correct as it allows the disk

to align in the pads when they contract. Even if the disk is a solid mount,

like most rear disks, if you rock the bike forward and backward with the brake

applied lightly, you will detect a small amount of movement and that is the pads moving

slightly in the caliper housing. The front does the same thing.
