My passenger front tire has a noticeable 0.020" play if I grab the tire underneath and try to pull it out. Pulling it from the top or sides produces no play. Pulling straight out on the tire or the hub directly doesn't give me any play either. The bearing feels fine, no noise coming out and rotates smoothly.
The lower ball joint has 0.009" up/down play. And the upper has 0.002" side to side play. They are Synergy ball joints and have about 30K miles on them. The Jeep has 53K miles, with 35" tires.
I'm thinking it's my unit bearing, but I'm not 100% sure and don't want to replace it just to end up with same play. What do you guys think?
