Switched over to the foc kit today. While I was installing that, I noticed one front tire had slop.It wiggled back and forth. I pulled them all and checked the hex nuts...all fine. It's something at the end of the a-arm under one of the boots. Can anyone point me in a direction before I start ripping things apart??

tighten the pivot ball retainer in the end of the a-arms under the little boots should solve the problem
 
Yes mabey, tighten the pivot ball cap with the plastic tool that came with the truck . Not to tight that it binds though,you need a slight amount of play.

If thats not it could be a axial carrier(hub) bearing gone bad.
 
I had that problem frequently with stock parts. you may want to pull them all and put a light dab of loctite on them as they will frequently back out on you. Gets annoying.
