Its not the ball joints

[Dudenhymer]

Hey guys, I've got 03 superduty 4x4 that failed inspection because they said all 4 ball joints were bad. I said B.S. So I raised the truck up and checked for spindle wobble by shaking the tires. Passenger side was tight but the drivers side had some slight movement up and down. I looked closer and the spindle doesn't wobble at all, ball joints are fine. The brake disk and tire wobbles in relation to the spindle. Could this be a bad wheel bearing?

Thx.

I'm no expert but I would say wheel bearing. Check your tie rods, too.

sounds like wheel bearing to me

Also, does your ABS light ever flash on you? Have heard some say that when their hub/wheel bearing wehn, the ABS would "flicker" in the dash at times.
