I just picked up a 92 240 with 103+K miles and while checking the suspension I'm wondering if I should replace anything.

Checking both sides with a jack under the car and the front wheels just hanging free weight. wiggling the wheels with my hands at 6 and 12 o'clock I notice very slight play and both sides are the same.

When I place a bar under the both wheels I can't lift the wheel without moving the car but I still feel the slight play mentioned above. It this excessive and should I replace the ball joints?

With my hands at 3 and 9 o'clock I feel a little play that seems to be at the body just behind the wheels again, both sides at the same.

Driving down the highway yesterday sometimes reaching 73 there was no pulling, wandering or shimmy.

Should I place parts?
