front drivers tire wobble
I have a 01 f150 supercrew with 108,000, 33x12.50 and 4x4. While driving on a somwehat rocky roady this weekend it was brought to my attention that my drivers front tire looked like the lug nuts were loose. I drove slowly and watched out the window and sure enough the tire wobbles back and forth like it is going to come off. When i look underneath everything appears fine, ball joints, etc are all in tact and there is no sign of grease or anything. The passenger side front tire does not do this and when I drive on asphault the drivers tire is fine, no pulls or anything to give indication of allignment or out of balance. Anyone got any suggestions as to where I should start looking.

tie rod ends?
jack up the tire, grab it at 6 and 12 oclock and try to move it pushing and pulling.
repeat but with hands at 3 and 9 oclock.
if it move at top and bottom, hands at 6 and 12, then i would think wheel bearing,
If it moves side to side, hands ath 3 and 9 tie rod ends.
