Assuming you have a standard bearing set-up, the shaft is located axially in the casing by the two front main bearings, which should be assembled with a pre-load of 0.002 - 0.008".
If there is enough end float to notice, the first thing which comes to mind is that the front bearing retaining lip in the crankcase may have failed? Stop running and investigate.
