76 K10 hubs shaky top to bottom

Hi all! I need some advice on what needs to be replaced, ball joints, bearings, spindles, u-joints, more? Some parts are definitely bad and I imagine some parts I should just replace since I would have everything apart anyway. My chassis is a 1976 K10.


  • My driver side, bottom ball joint moves a lot so I know that one is bad. It doesn’t look like the hub is moving much so maybe the bearings are ok.

  • Driver's side top ball joint moves a little so I am unsure if that is okay.

  • The passenger side lower ball joint moves a moderate amount so maybe it's bad?

  • Passenger side upper ball joint moves a tiny bit. I feel like the hub is moving a lot on the passenger side so I imagine the bearings are bad.

  • The knuckle / tie rod joint has play in it. I don't know if that is normal.

Here's a 1 minute video of me giving parts a good shake. The voiceover is quiet. Sorry about that. https://youtu.be/gCUtKGtKhg0?si=LIbp_yKkIdWnSx2y
