Default Bottom balljoints

if bottom balljoints are shagged, would there be play on the road wheel if you rock it top to bottom???

yes it would!! best way to check is to jack it up on the chassis then get someone to rock the wheel while you look underneath at the ball joints!

I doub't you'd see that unless your very strong as your pushing against the anti roll bar.

Play there would be wheel bearing.

Best way to check the TCA is take it off
