Some movement in the cantilever is normal. However, you should check your VTF(Vertical Tracking Force) to make sure that you are not exceeding the manufacturers recommendations.

Is my cantilever broken?
I may be revealing my ignorance in spades here, but here goes... Just received a Dynavectpr 10x5 .
When I placed it on my GeoDisc for alignment, I noticed that the cantilever gave under the weight of the cartridge, somewhat like the suspension system in a car.
In other words, the cartridge continued to move downwards into the cantilever, causing the angle of the cantilever to increase.
I have never noticed this before, but perhaps because I have never owned a cart with an entirely exposed needle.
