How do I tell whether it is worn kingpins - or front wheel bearings - or both? Is there a way to pinpoint what is causing the play?

You can be assured that the king pins are loose if you tighten up the spindle nut so that wheel will not spin. If you still have 12-6 movement, that movement is the king pin.
