After removing my front porch railing, I noticed that 3 of the 4 porch posts do not make full contact with the porch slab. The one closest to the front door is the one that doesn't move around. The others move around quite a bit on the bottom. I don't remember the posts moving around before I removed the railing.

Are these load bearing?

Is there danger of the porch collapsing?
