97 RWD Regular cab/bed 55k miles

Test: Support front frame on jackstands. Grab wheel at front and back. Push and pull.

Result: I can feel movement. I can also see tie rod going in and out. This is my first pickup. I can only compare to my reference, which is with passenger vehicles. The movement is a lot compared to the reference.

Question: I wonder if a pickup is naturally looser than a passenger vehicle just because it has more pivot joints (idler arm, pitman arm).

Thanks.
