Default A lot of play in front wheel.

I have a lot of play in my front wheels, but that doesn't bother me bacause I only use it for plowing. My concern is if it will pass inspection. Does any one know how much wiggle is unacceptable.

Thanks,
Mike

I believe its 1 inch form center in either direction 2 inch total. You may be able to get the lash adjusted in the steering box.

Probably the famous steering coupler where the shaft goes into the steering box.
