I believe that the shaft is designed to be constrained by the spherical section running in the cylindrical hole in the pot.
ie The sphere and pot make a ball and socket.
The pin and blocks are there to transmit torque and not to centre the shaft.
When I got my car someone had tried to centre the shaft by putting washers over the pin. Hence the vibro massage. The ball end was very worn. It would need to be built up and machined to be a good fit in the pot.
