    There can be a couple reasons for play in the front wheels. All of the possibilities are related to the front steering and suspension, so you will need to have that inspected. There is some potential safety issues if something in the steering or suspension were to break, so get it inspected very soon!
    Good Luck, let us know what they find?!
