If I grab the wheel at 9 and 3 and push one side towards the engine I feel a very slight play and vice versa. It's not enough to actually feel the wheel move, but I can feel some play. I'm replacing the rotors today, but I don't think it's a warped rotor? Any idea? The play is so little it's hard to tell. The passenger side wheel has no play at all.
 
Does it have play when you grab the wheel in other positions, say 6 and 12 o'clock? If you have play there as well it's most likely a wheel bearing, if not check your tie rods.
 
I didn't notice any at 12 and 6. Any specific part to look at the tie rod. I'm not even sure what one is so I'll have to research it a bit. Thanks!
