Default 89 W150 Knuckle

I have a lifted 89 w150. Recently I have noticed some vibrations coming from the front axle when driving down the road. I took the front tires off and it appears that the driver side knuckle is loose where it connects to the axle housing on the bottom. Does this sound correct? Could that be the cause for the vibrations? I just had both front hubs replaced about a month ago. Any help is good help, thanks.

That would be a ball joint, They are on the top and bottom.

Thanks for all of the help. Sorry if I sound like an idiot. I'm a bit more mechanically inclined than I sound but as you can tell I am still in a learning process. But thanks for all the help, I'm sure I'll need it again at some point.

There are no idiots here that are smart enough to ask about something they don't know. We were ALL newbies at one point, and we are all here to pass along what we know, to help our fellow dodge fans. So, always remember, here, there is no such thing as a stupid question. (except for the one you DON'T ask.)
