I am also a believer in not waking sleeping dogs. They deserve their rest.

But, when ever you have the wheels up for brakes or tire swaps, do the shake test for bearings, ball joints, and steering linkage. Check the boots for tears or deterioration. Look at the grease boots on the ball joints and outer tie rod ends. Look for abnormal tire wear.

The tough part is when you find the play in the steering, you would really benefit from a helper to wiggle the wheel for you while you use your hands to feel for where the play is. It is a three-handed sort of job.
