Bought new tires for the 91, needed them for the trip to IL. Funfest next friday pulled the wheels off, had them mounted and ballanced and put them back on the car. After i tightened the front i noticed some play in the right front hub, not alot but still some, i'd say 1/16 in. or less. The other side has no play at all. Can i make the trip, 1,000 miles both ways before i replace the hub or should i not??

It will be fine, change it when you get back. I just changed one of the rears with that much, it had been that way for a few months. I am heading to Road America again so needed to get it done.
