Cross Tube Play

How much play or movement is acceptable on the ball joint on the cross tubes?

Is it ok, if you can move it side to side by hand with a little pressure?

If they are supposed to have no movement, Are they repairable?

to clarify, I dont have any slop or play, I can just move the pin by hand and not as stiff as a newer joint. What is excess on the packard?

Troy, I believe the back and forth play is not a good indicator of a worn joint. I would think the up and down slack would be a better indicator.
