yes, my gp has excessive play when i jack car up, the wheel can be moved approx 1/8" verticle and horzitonal. i changed ball joints and still have problems with play. what is considered excessive play? could it be the front hub bearing making it have the play?

there should be no play. get someone to move tire back n forth while you look at all
connection points.if you are getting an 1/8 of play make sure your not just moving the other wheel
btw as things wair out you will have some play so maybe some movement is possible/ok

a hub bearing will cause excessive play at all positions, 12-6, 9-3, 2-8, etc. If the play is only evident at 12-6, then check the control arm bushings next.
