Front end question, 2003 F250 SD

My driver's side front clunks alot now. Jacked the front up and I can wiggle the tire back and forth. Checked lugnuts. They are tight.

What should I be looking at replacing now?

yup, most likely ball joints if you feel it with your hands a 12 and 6 o'clock,
if your hands were at 3 and 9 it could be tie rod ends.
my truck needed both.

I just replaced mine last weekend and used Mevotech TXK8607T for the lowers and Raybestos 5001048 for the uppers.
The Mevotech was 5yrs/100000m war and the Raybestos were 2yr/240000m war.
Mevotech does not make a TXK ball joint for the uppers yet.
