Depends on what direction the play is and how bad..
Most likely culprits will be the upper wishbone bushes, they wear out first usually.. with load off the suspesnion it will be quite clear.. the wishbone can move in/out and front to back if you tug on the wheel the the directions, or undo the 2 bolts holding the upper ball joint in the wishbone to wahhle the wishbone.... otherwise it could be the upper ball joint or poss the track rod end or even rack.. lower balljoints are pretty sturdy, but do wear..
