front axel question

ive developed a nocking sound in the front when i hit bumps. when i lean over the tire and grab the axel next to the u joints i can move it up and down about a 1/64 inch and hear it bump but it doesnt look like the joint is bad . also on both sides i can see a fiber ring loose around the axle but the pass side axle is tight . any ideas?

Sounds like maybe the hub bearing is toast.

Hub bearings cost about $20 or so and you could fix it in about 1 hour.
