Rear wheel bearing ?
I think I read before that if there is any play in your rear wheel that the bearings need to be replaced. Is that accurate.
I got new tires today and I tested it while the car was off the ground. I grabbed the wheel at 12 and 6 O'clock and 9 and 3 O'clock. There was a little play both ways on both wheels. Should I start thinking about replacing the bearings?
Thanks!

You might, but also check to make sure the play is not in the bushings on the suspension arms or the outer tie rod ends... Rear hub is around $120 unless someone know of a cheaper one.... :cheers: :flag
