During the MOT my mate calls me under the car and says that whilst he was testing the steering he saw very slight movement in the joint below (marked in white) on the N/S/F wheel.
He says it might pay me to see if the four bolts need a tighten whilst I'm doing my wheel bearings.
So today I set about doing the bearings and having a crack at these four bolts. The two in green were as tight as they could be, the one in orange needed a half a turn but the one in red, once I'd cleared years of crud off it, was only finger tight. In fact I think it was the crud holding it in place. So another place worth checking guys.
