The 6 ball bearings of each joint belong to a tolerance group. Check the wheel bush, the hub, the cage and the ball bearings for scratches (pitting) and tracks from grinding. If there is a lot of play in the joint, it is noticeable when there is a change in the demands made on the vehicle, in these cases the joint has to be replaced.
