Title: Unit bearings
Post by: MOABICON on June 08, 2014, 08:10:07 PM

When I jack up the front axle. Grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 or
the 9 and 3 positions and try and move it. The unit bearing has
a "wee bit of play" ( 1/16 of and inch ).
Should have none, or is this acceptable? No noise when driving.
