wheelbearing
when I have the car on jacks and I push and pull the right front wheel I can rub it about 3-5mm in and out. Does this sound like a bad bearing or could it be something else in the steering/suspention setup? What to check for?
thanks

Re: wheelbearing (devilfish)
Sure sounds like a wheel bearing. Are you rocking it with your hands at the 6:00 and 12:00 position on the tire/wheel? Someone posted last week about putting a jack under the suspension to load it while doing this, the idea being that some or all of the play could be coming from the suspension. We were discussing rear wheel bearings, though. You should be able to look down on top of the tire to see what is moving, though, especially with that much play. Good wheel bearings will have no play at all.
