A freeplay measurement tool is disclosed. The freeplay measurement tool comprises a first measuring device configured to be removably coupled to a first structure and a second measuring device configured to be removably coupled to a second structure. The first structure and the second structure are connected via a joint. The freeplay measurement tool also comprises at least one load cell and a loading sling. The loading sling comprises a spreader bar, a first retention member, fixed to a forward end of the spreader bar and the load cell, a second retention member, fixed to an aft end of the spreader bar and the load cell, and at least one loading pad coupled to and extending from the spreader bar. When the first measuring device and the second measuring device are coupled to the first structure and the second structure, respectively, the spreader bar is positionable adjacent to a loading surface of the second structure so that the at least one loading pad applies a predetermined external load only to the loading surface of the second structure.
