Default collected terrano

picked up the terrano tonight, on the way home, noticed the steering wheel vibrating at speed? got it home and had a look around, the passenger side front wheel has slight movement on it when you push it in and out, all the other wheels seem solid, could it be a ball joint gone???, i know i'm not paid up yet, but any help is greatly appriciated.

If it's moving side to side then it's very likely steering idler arm bushes and possibly the control arm ball joints. I've got specially made idler bushes if you need.
If the top of the wheel can be moved easily on the ground then check bearing and poss wheel nuts
