Default suspension question

I've found that when the car is jacked up in the left front that I can wiggle the wheel in the back and the front (9 and 3 o'clock) a little. It doesn't do this on the right side. Everything is new on the car and I already check everything again as well did I reset the front wheel bearing. Everything seems very tight. The movement is not there when I wiggle the wheel in the 6 and 12 o'clock position.

I'm riddled about what it could be. Anyone know ?

When you check the front is the engine running? If not it could be normal play for the steering control valve when the engine is off. In the rear I would have someone move it while you are watching the various rear components.

What's the partnumber for the Moog tie rods ?

And no, I haven't tested it with the engine running.
