Loose Kingpins will allow some movement up and down. Jack up the axle, but leave the tire close to the ground. Have a helper pry the wheel up with a pry bar (just enough to make it move, not compress the spring) and watch the spindle/axle point. There should be no movement between the two.

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
