You can raise the vehicle front or rear and move the wheel back and forth and up and down, so as to feel for play. Excessive play in the wheel indicates loose components, whether a wheel bearing or tie rod or ball joint. If there is excessive play moving the wheel left and right, then could be a tie rod. If there is excessive play up and down, then could be a ball joint. If there is excessive play all around, then could be the wheel bearing.

How do you know when wheel bearing is bad on 1995 spirit?

Generally a grinding sound can be heard from the offending wheel
at first. If a wheel bearing is suspect, jack one side of the car
up at a time and grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 o'clock position
and see if the wheel has excessive play on the horizontal axis. If
there is play, then a wheel bearing failure is likely.

List the procedure you used to set and check the front bearings preload free play?

Need more information. Are you referring to wheel bearings,
transmission bearings, differential bearing, etc. Also what type of
vehicle is this? If your talking about front wheel bearing on a
front wheel drive car, there are no specs or adjustments. Any play
means the bearing is bad. Same goes for most 4WD vehicles. Front
wheel bearing on a rear wheel drive also should not have play but
if they are in good shape, they can be repacked and tightened to
spec.
