Vibration at 60-70 mph.Is it my ball joint?

Im no front end expert, but Ive started to get a pretty good vibration from what feels like my front end. It starts at around 55-60 mph and continues as the mph's go up. Its not really in the steering wheel as much as I can feel it at my feet...if that makes sense.

I jacked up my front end and found that there is alittle more than an 1/8th inch of play in the passenger side upper ball joint. Could that be causing my vibration in the truck?

I bet it's your wheel bearings.. Try putting a little more pressure on each side, (like a gradual turn in each direction) and see if the noise/feeling changes, if so it's more then likely your wheel bearings...

You have a serious safety issue. Play of any amount in anything in the front end is a problem. Get the truck checked out immediately.
