Take it to another mot place see what they say then confront the first with the second result if its to your advantage ,if not take it to a third or replace steering parts.

depends on where and how the play is mate.Could be ball joint,hub or top mount or even the shocker itself.Like i say,all depend on if the play is top to bottom,left to right,in or out or all!

A fucked shocker won't give the mechanic a idea to replace a coloumn.
Maybe there is excessive play felt on the steering coloumn itself, grab the steering wheel and wobble it around, any play >
Also, if he is using the wheel to check for play, if you have power steering you will fell a slight movement unless the pump is working/running.
