The car drives fine doesn't pull to the side but there is a slight bit of play out of the passenger side inner tie rod which I will replace. I found the play on the inner tie rod by jacking one side up at a time and found about a millimeter of play in the inner tie rod on the passenger side. But as said above once I had both sides up and move the wheel with a bit of force into the rack there is a fair bit of play so I'm just wondering if that is normal. Cheers.
