Quick question...

How much vertical play is allowable in the ball joints? I was polishing wheels and wanted to check them so I placed a 2x4 under the wheel and lifted. There's a pretty significant amount of play there and an audible movement.
I thought for sure they needed replacement, but I read this:

And it says movement up to .125" is fine.

What says the community?
