tire play?

Started noticing a vibration on the front end in the last week and today a small clunk. Jacked the truck up and the front passenger side tire has play in it from north to south. What should I look for? Thanks

Check the ball joints and wheel bearings. if it is wheel bearings you will see the rotor and hub move seperate from the knuckle. if it is ball joints then you will see the knuckel move seperate from the axle.

best bet is to have someone stick a pipe or the jack handle under it and lift up and down while your under there watching everything to see if its moving
