1999 gmc sierra 1500 4x4.
Not a mechanic just a very amateur diy’er.
If I jack up my truck with both wheels off the ground and move the wheels side to side at 9 and 3 I am able to move it and the pitman and idler arms ball joints look like they’re flexing but no clank or separation or movement. Just able to move everything if pushed hard enough. Are they shot or does it have something to do with both wheels in the air and jack stands under the control arm. I also had someone move the steering wheel side to side with car on the ground then slight up and then fully up and no clanking of separation or movement.
Could they be worn but still good for a while or completely shot to where I’m in danger?
Also lifted 6in body kit with mt nittos
