Play at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock position is usually an indication of excessive bearing play. Max Dillon Charleston SC Oct 22, 2020 10:49:52 PM Allan Streib via Mercedes : > This is not really a vehicle-specific question I don't think. > > If I push/pull a front wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock

Pretty much so long as it's a two ball joint design. McPherson strut suspensions generally won't shake, you need to pry up on the bottom of the tire and check for ball joint movement inside the boot. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

This is not really a vehicle-specific question I don't think. If I push/pull a front wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock and there is free play that is tie rod ends. If I do the same at 12 and 6 o'clock that is ball joint. Correct? Allan ___ http://www.okiebenz.com
