you will get more at 3 and 9...thats steering slop....you need to be looking at the tie rod ends adn idler arm for movement that shouldn't be there...and do so at the points before you move the pitman arm....

You also need to put a crowbar ander the tire and lift with hand on top of tire.

feeling for a thump or knock....there should be none....or else you nave bad ball joints.
