I’d guess the two (inner and outer) bearings on steering knuckle spindle need replacing and/or the king pin spacer and bushings that mount the steering knuckle to the shock absorber C shaped mount. Perhaps someone can share some advice and guidance including what tools are needed. For example, if a bearing press is needed, I’ll let someone else do the repair!

First question I would ask is who is doing your service? King pins don't wear out unless they haven't been properly maintained. This is normally done during a service. The majority of shops don't do it, but it is a preventable repair.
Front bearings? Maybe,but they do last a long time, no press required if they do need replaced. If your getting noise from the front, make sure the hub is not worn.
