I am in the process of replacing all my ball joints before winter comes. I am wondering how much play is to much? I can move my wheel back and forth but not very much, and I know its the upper ball joint but when I took it off It doesn't seem BAD like my other one was (move the joint and it would stay there no rebound) I bought a used control arm from a junk yard and they assured me the ball joint was good, but it has the same amount of play in it as the one I just took off the truck
So I guess my questions would be is there any play acceptable with a ball joint? and what other methods are there to check out the lower ones?
