wheel brgs but check swivels as well by getting someone to wobble wheel while you look

Probably just play in the steering.

There's always SOME detectable movement in the steering. If the joints are worn then it'll fail bit theyre very cheap, otherwise it'll pass unless there's far too much play in the steering box.

Land rover steering will have lots more play than rack and pinion on a car, and it's considered normal.
