Hotpoint WMA54 drum " loose " and noisy?

When spinning I noticed that my washing machine drum is making a lot of noise.??
On further inspection. The drum appears free to move from FRONT to BACK of the machine.Rather than not being centred it appears that it moving laterally when spinning. ???

check and hope that the large nut on the pulley has come undone.re-tighten nut and see if play is taken out. (job done)If its not I'm afraid the shaft bearing could be shot allowing the drum float it or could also be a broken spider arm(s) machine has to be stripped down to prove this.
