Hey Everyone,

Interested to get some experienced members thoughts here. My 2002 Landcruiser (210k miles) has become increasingly more difficult to handle on the highway. Likes to pull to the drivers side, wanders a bit, and is becoming more “vague” handling wise and less “tight.” Need to pay more attention than I’d like to keep it tracking straight. Jacked up the front and did the 3-9 and 12-6 wiggle tests. See video below. Are these within specs? You can hear a faint clunk during the 12-6 test and there’s a limited amount of play side to side, but not sure if this is the cause of my issue. Everything checks out visually, so no obvious culprit. Appreciate any and all thoughts!

 
First question would prob be when was the last time the wheel bearings were serviced and by who if they have been serviced recently. If you recently had front rotors replaced this could also help determine cause as that could lend to wheel bearing issues when that service is performed by someone not familiar with this wheel bearing setup.
