Front wheel shake when jacked up

[sakoluvr]

We replaced LBJ'S in my 2001 and 2002 today. When putting the wheels back on the 2002, I noticed the left front wheel could be moved from side to side.

What should I do to diagnose the problem? Could it be a wheel bearing? Something I could fix even though I have not done any real front end work?

Check for play in the outside tie rod ends.

I replaced the OTR today when I did the LBJ because the bolt was torn pretty bad.

Just replaced both my inner and Outter tied rods on the driver side for the same issue.

With the wheel jacked up, put one hand on the top of the tire, and the other hand on the bottom, try to wiggle the tire. If it moves or makes noise, you may have a bad wheel bearing.

Any videos on diagnostic or repairs?

Yikes. Saw a write up on bearing replacement. Unfortunately out of my league. May have to bring it in to the dealer and let them check

Top and bottom shake is a wheel bearing and side to side is inner tie rod?

Just went out and jacked it up again since I had to finish up the LBJ's late in the garage.

Definitely more play up and down than side by side, but there is some play side to side. It doesn't look like tie rods are moving but where the CV is.
