Checking rear wheel bearing

I believe that the NO can be/could be debated. Regarding the amount tolerated I ain't gona' debate but I believe that just mentioning NO ain't the correct response! It also needs checked at 3 and 9. I believe that various hub/bearing manufacturers may have different tolerances and they're likely different for drive axles only and for drive/steer combinations (FWD).

IMHO a little play in the rear wheel bearings is OK, but not much.
Anything over 1/8" (3mm) at the edge of the wheel is too much.
I would make sure it's the bearing and not a worn/missing bushing, or fault with another suspension piece - it's all connected to the wheel, and can falsely make you think it's the wheel bearing.

I thought these were spherical and not tapered roller bearings ???? I would think there should be basically no slop in a spherical roller bearing assembly; at least none that a human should be able to detect.
Admittedly, I have never disassembled a rear bearing assembly.
