Wheel Play

Wheel Play
I checked the play on my wheels and found side to side play and not up and down play.
My mechanic told me that it's the wheel bearings but I don't think so, there would be up and down play too.
Upon further inspection of the front end, I noticed that the driver side tie rod adjustment sleeve was loose, I could rotate it by hand with the wheels on the ground.
I just want to know if this would cause play in the wheels.

The sleeve being loose on it's own would not create 'play', but could contribute to alignment problems. Worn tie rod ends could allow 'play'. But you are likely correct, a bad or loose wheel bearing would have play side to side and up/down.
