Jack up on one side, put jack stand under frame of body, get a long steel pole or bar. Wedge under tire and push up on bar...you'll hear/feel play, rattling noise. Also with your hands, wiggle/turn tire rt. and left, in and out. you'll hear and feel noise and play.

Why wont the steering knuckle come free from the ball joints on a 1991 ford explorer?

If you have a factory steering knuckle, ford designed them for the ball joints to not be removable. If you are thinking that your ball joints are bad for some reason, you will need to get after market steering knuckles, and ball joints for replacement. Costly, I know but worth it. I suggest MOOG, I've always have had good experience with them.
