This is all very good info. I do have a service manual and so far I couldn't do without.
Thanks to everyone!!!!
it will rock. IE: push on the bottom, pull on the top and visa versa.
If it has noticeable slop when rocked side to side, the king pin bushing is wore out.
This assumes the wheel bearing is not shot.. That could fake you out I suppose.
