Front left wheels moves back and forth

[cr817]

I was putting brakes on yesterday and I can rock the front left wheel around. I can only assume it's the wheel bearing. Since I have to change it should I be looking for anything else while I'm in there? Any ideas?

what axle??

I would rock it back and forth, you should be able to see where the movement is coming from. I did this last night, and as a result, I am replacing ball joints tonight.

Hmm.
I have to say this.
Your brakes
Sorry, couldn't resist.

What type of vehicle is it?

(Spence beat me to that question. Oh well.)

My bad 94 wrangler 6"lift 35 12.50.

I can move everything as one unit. With the wheel off I can grab the whole thing and move it around. It accually looks like everything is tight untill the axle.

Wheel bearings will move in out if they are dead.

"Everything" meaning the knuckle/caliper/hub/etc? Sounds like ball joints.
