If one wheel has play that you can't feel in the other, then you should investigate and correct the reason for this. How did you "shake" the tires? Which side has play? Get someone else to shake the tire from 12 O'clock while you stick your finger in the grease where the upper trailing arm emerges from the axle beam and see if that is where the play is.
