Default Play in Front End

I'm trying to figure out what's going on the front end of my truck and I would love some help. It's a 2007 F150 4x4. I was getting movement in my driver's side tire once the weight was taken off of it but it looks like the ball joints are okay. Upon looking more closely I think I found where the movement is coming from. I've got some play in the spindle behind the front hub assembly. Is that normal? Seems to be the source of the original movement. I've attached a video of what I am experiencing. Any insight would be much appreciated!


Thanks

05 5.4 mine was bad bearings and so I replaced them and two years later I have bad bearings again. As soon as I have time Im taking front end apart and am going to try and find the problem.

seems like the hub assembly to me.

My 05 was the same as penuts, as in I replaced it two and a half years ago, and did it again last week.

Used the cheap assembly the first time around, mistake. This time I got the Moog. Seems much better built. Easy repair also.

You can get the Moog on Amazon for half of what the parts store's gonna charge.
