Looseness Check

1. Raise the vehicle until the wheel is clear of the floor.
2. Support the front suspension lower arm so there is no load on the front suspension lower arm ball joint.
3. Try to rock the wheel top-to-bottom, if any wobble is felt, look for movement between the front suspension lower arm and front wheel spindle.
4. If the front suspension lower arm ball joint appears tight, check the front wheel bearing. Any movement present indicates front suspension lower arm ball joint wear.
