Having finally  completed the installation of new inner and outer tie rods
on our '95 ATX I decided to double check wheel play before lowering 'er back
to the ground. To my disappointment, there is a tiny little bit of play on
the passenger side when shaking the wheel about the horizontal plane (hands
at 12:00 and 6:00).
So, how do I tell whether the play is the result of bad ball joints or bad
wheel bearings? The car has 82k easy miles on it.
