Default Wheel Bearings and Swivel Pins

Ok.. Finally got the shop cleaned out and got the Discette up on some stands... I have no perceptable play side to side and enough to make a tiny clunk when I push and pull on the top of the wheel..

Swivel Pins... How much play if any is acceptable ?????...

I know I'll probably need to rebuild them. But today I'm thinking about just going in and taking out a shim to tighten them up...I don't have set of fish scales or the "special tool #xxxxx but I figure if I get them with some fairly good drag that's gotta be better than they are now..

I think my wobble issue is now mostly toe in.. It's nearly 1/2" instead of 2mm....
Gotta go get a new tie rod end puller and fix that...I broke mine trying to get the steering arm off the box...

So.. How much play is acceptable ? Any ?

Thanks

John
