I don't think the rotation is necessary -- think any rotation is more in the center to the rod and believe it is more of a very slight side to side twisting or rocking motion at the actual lever. That would be indicated by the slight curve on the bushing. The thin spring washer allowed just a tiny bit of motion with the thicker flat washers keeping the bushing in the hole. If it is so tight neither can happen perhaps it could stand a quick touch up with some crocus cloth or fine emery paper coated with oil to remove any burrs.
