Default Is my Steering coupling stuffed?

Hi guys, over the last few months Iv noticed some movement in the steering column. I thought maybe the mount bolts had worked lose some.

However today I got under the dash to look and noticed the column seems tight at the top, but the shaft where it goes through the firewall moves around.
I grabbed the other end of the shaft in the engine bay and it has the same slop on that side.

So, is this the steering coupling issue Iv heard about around the traps, or something else?

I have the car going in for a full service and check over tomorrow, so it would be helpful if I know exactly what is needed and I can tell the mechanic to do that rather than having to pay him diagnosis time..
