2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 4x4 front bearing play?

[mcdaniel1]

With the front jacked up, grab the front tire at 12 and 6, push and pull at those 2 points. How much, if any play, should there be?



If there is some how much is too much? If there should be none and the movement is slight, can these bearings be snugged up?

There should not be any play. But I will bet you find it's bad Ball Joints and not the wheel bearings that are bad. There is no adjustment on the wheel bearings they are life time sealed unit bearings.
