put the car up on jack stands, grab the front wheel and yank it up and down and side to side, it shouldn't have any play in it at all. if it does it can be one of a few causes 1>cracked/bad bushings 2>worn tie rod 3>bad wheel bearing 4>loose a-frame 5>worn ball joints 6>worn strut/spring/shock when i say yank i mean yank, put some a$$ in to it, just pay attention to what gives when you put some force on it, and don't put the jack stands under the a-frame that just going to load the suspension, put the jack stands under the k-member, don't forget to set the e-brake, if its a standard put it in gear with engine off of course decipha@murdacapital.com

It depends on the year, and whether it's 2WD or 4WD. I suggest entering your question again with the year. People have posted answers for specific year models.
