Today I jacked up the body and gave the wheels a shake, couldn't find any play in them..
Another symptom I have noticed is a knock in the steering wheel when going over gentle bumps at speed, for example when going over a rough patch on a motorway. Could this be linked to the problem? Worn suspension bushes?

Feels like its getting worse but its probably just my imagination, 45-55 is at its worst. Getting pretty annoying!!!

Have you checked both side to side play AND top to bottom play? Also backwards and forwards...

If no play could be steering rack/column

It could be the radius arm bushes thinking about it so check those (usually the chassis end)

check the track rod ends as well as these can cause the wobble
