slight wheel movement
Happy new year to all!
I've had some vibration issues up front on the jag, so today I jacked up each corner to check for play.
The only wheel which had play is the front right side. The play is while holding the wheel at 3o/c and 9o/c. I know this could be either bearing/bj/tie rod end...but which of these is it likely to be?...oh yes...it could also be another worn bj spindle hole.

iownme, take the car to get an alignment. If the alignment even gets out a little bit, it will cause the wheel to shake. The faster you go, the more the wheel shakes. During the alignment, the tech should be checking the suspension for any signs of problems too. Worst case, spend the extra few bucks to force the tech to look the suspension over. Something as simple as the toe of the car being off by 0.2 degrees is enough to cause the steering wheel to shake pretty good.

iownme, well, then if you know the play is there, I would be venturing to guess that you are going to find a lot of what you found on the other side. I would start there and atleast get the wheel in the air and see where the movement is. That will be the biggest teller. From there, you will know what parts need to be swapped out. But, because of the issue on the other side, it would not surprise me to find that you have the same issue on this side.
