Actually, the wheel can move due to a bad joint if you grab at 3 and 9. I know this because I just figured out (an hour ago) I had a bad joint. I removed my front wheel, and it only clunks when I grab it at 3 and 9 and shake. I can see the movement down by the ball joint. In my case, I am 100% sure its a bad ball joint as I hit a curb a couple of years ago. The joint didn't start acting up until the past 3 months. BTW, when I go over bumps it clunks and clatters a lot, so that's another indicator of a bad joint. In addition, my car gets really squirelly under heavy braking, because the toe on the front shifts due to my bad joint.
