Gap in late style 930 tensioners with late style idler arms

[wprater]

On my left bank, the idler arm has lateral freedom when the tensioners is installed. I'm using the correct thin boss tensioners with the later style double bushing indeed arms.

I should not need a spacer because of this, but perhaps my chain case has an issue? Do I need to add some washers on the other side?

Here is a picture showing the gap, I can push the idler arm forward to meet with the tensioner and it will be flush. However, then there is a gap in the rear. Is this an issue while the car is running? Will the chain rails keep them aligned?

Self aligning feature. No worries.

Thanks, Henry!
