if they have stated 'play in the wheel' that is where to look.
anything else would be an 'excess play in steering/suspension joint' failure, would it not???
I've been a bad bad boy. I should read the rules and behave before I get spanked by an admin

it's usually pretty easy to tell where the play is if you jack the car up and get someone to move the wheel around while you look at the joints

Jack car up.

Rotate wheel with hand

Hand on shock absorber, see if it vibrates more than the other side.

One of the many methods........
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.
