UT bearings tend to rattle around in their housings, as they are press fit on the axle but slide into the cups, the opposite of other BB types. The Hirth joint itself shouldn't be anywhere near moving if it's undamaged and correctly assembled, there's about 10 tonnes of preload pressing the two halves together.
