Can't say I've seen slop in the steering bellcrank/bearing area but I do get slop via the steering bushing/bellcrank between the steering plate. I have some ideas I've yet to try.

Do you get slop in both the steering posts or just that one side? Check and replace the bearings - if the steering post had loosened at some point, those bearings could be shot. If it's not the bearings, swap the steering posts around to verify if one of steering post is dodgy or replace them both altogether.

For slop in the hubs, you could try the below:-
