Stand next to bike, apply front brake tightly, try to push bike
forward and backward with the brake locked on.

If there is play, you will feel it. Tighten the headset bearings
(according to method for headset you have), and lock everything
down when the play is gone. I usually tighten these to the point
of a slight preload......you will get varying advice in this regard.
