[Solved] Play in front wheel

  

0
Topic starter

Changed oil on my creaking old 2008 Nissan Sentra and noticed the driver's side tire has some back and forth play.

There was no up and down play.  Car has a slight vibration at highway speeds.

Didn't have time to check much further.  Nothing was leaking from boots.  Stabilizer links appear solid.

Anything I should zero in on when I get a chance to pull the wheel off?

control arms, bearings ... you're just going to have to feel it out.

Yes. They need to make things simpler.
I had a CV joint and lower control arm replaced a couple years ago. Probably Chinese metal failing.


@mountainmanjoe
Lol. Found a tie rod bolt loose. The ball joint had a lot of play. Vibration mostly gone now.
