Lately I noticed I could feel play in the fronts when the car is
on the ground and pull/push on the top of the tire. However, doublechecking the wheelbearings shows they are tight (i.e. washer is just moveable). Also I had put in new ball joints only a year ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) What could make that happen? This is on the -6, so I even checked that the hub-to-brake-disc bolts are tight. The play is not a huge amount but I want to get rid of it if it's not right, and don't want anything to get worse. Thanks, |

Yep. What Ken said. If the shocks where installed and the nut not properly torqued that holds them into place... the strut will move. I dont mean the top one. I mean the one that holds the shock into the strut tube.
