Pry between the lower control arm and the outer race while reading the dial indicator. This will show vertical looseness in the ball joints.

CAUTION: Do not pry between the lower arm and the drive axle (halfshaft) boot or in such a manner that the ball Joint seal is contacted.
Damage to the drive axle (halfshaft) boot will result (4WD).
