Its free play and the steering wheel rally light although wheels dont turn then it will start to steer | |

Could be any of them, if you hit standing water your car is forced in many directions, if you can feel play in the steering wheel, is it free play and then start to steer or does it knock when you turn it further? | |

Yeh wheels bolts are tight sounds stupid but when stationary theres around 1cm of play in the steering wheel side to side would that be a factor | |

To add, wheel bearing will have play top to bottom too, as a general all round play, you need two people to check for play, one to wrestle the wheel and one to see whats moving, | |

To check your wheel bearing, get a mate to press the footbrake, if the play stops, wheel bearing | |

Do you have coilovers? If so the damper in springs has a little locking plate check that has not come lose. Or mayb. Top mounts lose? | |

I,m guessing that you have also checked wheel bearings,track rod ends and steering rack mounting rubbers? | |

That movement will be from the steering column itself, very unlikely it's come lose so probably the bearings that have gone. | |
