Telescopic cylinder

Rebuilding the telescopic cylinder on a JLG 40HA. At the rod end, the rod seal does not fill up the groove. It could "travel" back n forth approximately 1/8". I've never seen a seal that it suppose to go back n forth. Should there be a spacer ring to take up that space? The old one had disintegrated and wasn't anything left of it. Planning on calling JLG tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
