That little bit of play is called a hysteresis (whew, big word, Google it if you don't believe me). It's normal and the natural torque of the prop spinning may make a difference in left vs. right turns as well. Lot's of variables involved. All this being said, if your wheel turns free for much more than a quarter turn you could have another problem.
