Dodge specs on the lower ball joints allow for generous up and down
movement, but no lateral movement. Nova Scotia mandatory safety checks
allow up to 1/4" of play.
My '95 with 18000 miles had 3/16" of play. The dealer said it was not a
problem. I have noticed no noise or movement on accel/decel or at
steady speed. Maybe it will come with time.
Long story.... Check for excessive play. I am not a mechanic so have
no idea what symptoms excessive play would cause.
