Most likely track rod ends but I had same problem and it wasn't. It was the steering arm on bottom of steering box. That was loose which have fair bit of play. Worth a check to see its tight. Very simple fix.

cheers for that will check it out while im under

If he has already said they are loose this isn't going to help side to side movement and so changing them will reduce the side to side there may be other steering faults but I'd start with these
