With it up on stands, slip a metal pipe under the tire and pry up to check ball joint play. Or A-arm play I guess, yikes. You can pry other places too, but leverage really helps.

Over the years I've learned to hit everything at once after something goes. That play stresses and weakens other components and it becomes an every weekend project for awhile.

It's not bad to do, impact and ball joint separator help. And a big ****** hammer.
