I have alot of play. In both front tires , is there shimming to do on the hubbs or something , any help wood be very appreciated
 
Is it side to side or back and forth "play" that you are noticing?

Side to side; could be the carrier or the spindle bushings are starting to wear out. If no damage then maybe a loose screw or two.

In and out; there could be internal damage to the spindle that hold the bearings. If no damage, yes you can shim the bearing/hubs to reduce in and out movement.

A blown out bearing would also cause play in the wheels.

Those are the first things that come to mind that I have dealt with causing play in the wheels.
 
I blew a inner bearing replaced it , still got the play , well time to investigate , thanx much for your info
 
I've got these recommended bandlands , it looks like the play is in the hub to the wheel fit , I took the tire off , no play at all , put the wheel on , there's the slop , I'm thinking some well placed tiny pieces of garrilla glue duct tape just to see what happens
