Wheel bearings.......very little else -other than a broken suspension part, which should show obvious symptoms elsewhere- will allow the wheel/tire and brake rotor assembly to wiggle like that.....

Back and forth motion that you can get by pulling at the top and bottom of the tire/wheel is probably bad wheel bearings. If this play only occurs when you push/pull at the front and rear (as if to steer the wheel), it's probably a tierod end.

Up and down, left and right = Wheel bearing

Just left and right= probably tie-rod end

I was refering to these youngsters who think that the originals are stupid and don't realize games today wouldn't exist if it weren't for Nintendo, Sega, SNK, Arcades, Robert Bahr, etc.

( I was born in '84 so I'm legit)

I know that they didn't start with Nintendo! But Nintendo did save the gaming industry after Atari and the Arcade industry went under.

BTW, games didn't start with Atari either, Ralph Baer created Pong and it came out on the system, Odyssey from Magnavox.
