Just the bearings?

A couple years ago, I noticed a pulsing in my steering wheel while coming out of turns. I either got used to it or it went away. A couple weeks ago it came back. Last week I jacked up the front end and the drivers side from tire wiggled left/right and up/down. The passenger side is tight. It doesn't feel loose or wander noticably or make any noise while driving. I have a Moog bearing on order. Just wondering if I should be looking at anything else?

After having something similar on my 2001 Chev 2500 I would replace both sides now.

Every vehicle I've ever owned needed the remaining side replaced soon after the first. Might as well get them both while it's on jacks.

It's odd how the same problems I had with my 05 1500 are repeating on my 2500. First one side manifold bolts then the other. Now this bearing and probably the other side soon after. Please not the fuel pump!

Honestly, I cannot afford to do both right now. I will just plan on getting one by summer.

The bearing was fine. It was the upper and lower ball joints.
