As in visible movement relative to the bodywork ?
Normal and getting more obvious / significant as body mounts are softened on vehicles to improve NVH outcomes. It is actually the body of the vehicle moving, not so much the bar, and only becomes a problem if the bar runs on the bodywork.
The bar is effectively rigidly attaches to the chassis so not much flex there unless there is a significant problem.
I don’t have an ARB bar on my Hilux but I did on my last car (FJ) and ARB has issues with the bars rubbing on the fenders as a result of body movement. They did produce a fix kit which I believe resolved the problem and they replaced any damaged fenders or came to another settlement with the owners I believe.
