I put the front of my car up on jackstands this morning to change the oil.
I figured I would check the front suspension while I had it up.
When I grab the passenger wheel it is rock solid with no side to side or up and down movement
However, the driver's side wheel has some play in the up and down motion
This is most likely to be the ball joint correct?
Are there any other things I can do to verify that it is the ball joint or a way to temporarily correct this?
I am going to save up for MM ball joints but I will not be ready for up to a couple months. Can I get by?
Also, it looks like the issue is causing premature wear on the inside of the driver's side tire
I will have it up on the jackstands until later this afternoon if anyone has any suggestions to do while I am in there.
