Only if you dont know what to look for on a wiggle test.

Balljoints are best diagnosed with a prybar under the tire is the wiggle test indicates further inspection is required.

It can get a lot deeper than that, I was giving a base diagnostic test thats easy for anyone.

not necessarily true. Some ball joints need to be unloaded before they can be properly tested.
