you can check by jacking up the front and grabing the wheel 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock i think and check for play also repeat this check but this time 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions generally checking for play that aint feel right or natural. hope this helps :)

Have a look at your bottom 'dog bone' engine tie. The bigger bush may be fooked.
