Wheel Bearings

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

You should barely just be able to feel some movement.More then that is probablt too much. The normal procedure to adjust is to snug them up good while turning the wheel in a forward motion, then backing the adjustment off to the nearest hole.

Subject: IML: Wheel Bearings

How much play is tooooo much?  On both of my front wheels with the car off
the ground I can move the wheel/drum assembly from side to side just a
little.  I am getting ready to take the car on a 1200 mile round trip.
Discovered this while I was rotating the tires today.  Money is getting
tight so I don't want to spend on new wheel bearings / having races pressed
in if it is acceptable to have a little play there.
