Hi Folks,
More info:
With the wife rocking the tire, I could see no movement in the ball joint.
With the tire off, I couldn't see any movement in the ball joint when I rocked the hub.
So it much be the vertical link, right. I think I'll replace the ball joints anyway, as I can do that, but take it to the LBC shop for the vertical link replacement, and anything else they find.
(Just for the heck of it, I measured the slop with a dial indicator, as shown, at 4 locations of the disc, and got 10,11,11,10 thou.)
Thanks for all the advice so far, and for putting me right about the wheel bearing.
Cheers,
Adrian
