Lifted my truck up from the middle lifting both tires and shook my wheel at 9 and 3 and pitman arm had play. I checked the nut l and it was loose. Tightened it to spec that is the pitman arm ball joint to 46ft lbs with thread locker and now my wheels are rock solid and zero movement. Couple weeks later I lift my truck from under the control arm to re torque my lugs and the wheel again has some play but I switched over to lifting it from the middle support to lift both tires and it’s rock solid. Is it fine or is there a dangerous problem? Boot is in great shape
 
When in doubt throw it out.
Moral is...Nothing is better than OEM new!
