Since I suspect you are not a mechanic, I will help you out if you don't mind.

Jack up one front wheel so it's off the ground.
Grab the tire at 9:00 and 3:00 and shake it.
Grab the tire at 12:00 and 6:00 and give it another good shake.
There should be no play or looseness felt in either direction. Some slight bearing play is OK.
Now give the wheel a good, fast spin and look at the tire from the side and the front as it spins.
Repeat on the other side.
If there is looseness felt, get Sabrina on her knees with a flashlight to inspect and then switch places so you can both verify the troubled part.
