Default steering problem is it rack pinion

ok my friend's have a steering problem his car steer to the right after doing alignment. we notice something weird wen we change the tire on the right side. We jack up the car n first take out the tire on the left it seems hard n fine den we move to the right some how b4 we take it out we try to wiggle the tire to see if its stiff but it turn out that its not n it wiggles. His car doesnt have a bent control arm to anithing but my other friends uncle check it out n said it could be the rack pinion cuz the hub moves so can this be true

i think what you are trying to say, is it either needs a wheel bearing or an inner tierod end. if it wiggles up and down and side to side, it probably needs a wheel bearing, if it wiggles side to side but not up and down, it needs an inner rack end.
