I just tried shaking the front wheels with the front end on stands. They seem pretty solid. The pass side seems like it might be have a tiny bit more play but really for the most part is really firm.

How much is too much play? Should it be noticeable? Obvious?

One thing I have notices is when i drive the car and go over a speed bump with the passenger side there is some squeaking sounds. I don't think the pass side is doing that.

I am going to do the other tests that have been mentioned in my other thread.

2. check if caliper is seized. drive around for a while and see if one side brake rotor is hoter than another side.
