This is probably end-float in the worm.

My manual-to-cnc conversion of a small rotary table ended up with me
adding a needle roller support at the worm end, and a pair of angular
contact bearings outboard to take the thrust loads and eliminate the
end float.

It now could really do with having the rear bearing surface remachined
to be parallel to the front bearing surface. Probably easiest to do
with a freshly-skimmed faceplate on my lathe.
