Front hub play While starting my shock/spring swap I discovered an ever so slight movement or play in the drivers side hub...The play is a slight in and out not up and down....Is that normal? Car only has 35k mi.

the in & out motion is endplay, which you should not have, and can cause tire wear and handling problems if there is too much endplay.
parent's chrysler 300C with around 30k miles, only a few years old, had one hub go bad. At first i said it's an alignment problem, you could hear it hum sort of and the car would pull the left most of the time. But it was the hub, had both hubs left & right replaced actually. So yes, they can go bad, they are a mass produced item so there will be some that do not last 100k + miles.
