Loose front axle
I was checking my front brake pads on my 00 F350SD this weekend and noticed when the truck was off the ground that I can move my tire up and down and saw that the entire axle (drivers side) is moving up and down in the axle housing. I did notice the past few days I had a low grinding noise in the front end. Is this a axle shaft bearing? How easy to change out?
Thanks for any replies.

Sounds like a wheel bearing. More will pile on with what you can expect for prices for the unit.
When you move the tire up and down, do you see just the wheel moving, or the entire knuckle and u-joint? If it's the entire knuckle, it's the ball joints.
