Wheel bearing, or ball joints

 

jack it up and shake it down. with that much play you will find it easy.

 

ball joint looks fine.. im guessing it is the wheel bearing.. would it be better to buy a new bearing and have it pressed in? or just get a new hub assembly? also on the highway the steering wheel shakes if there is weight on the right front.. but around right hand corners the weight is on the left so it doesnt.. i got used tires and rims so it needs an alignment anyway, but could this also be a symptom of the wheel bearing?? Thanks guys, lmk

 

any help?

 

Tie rod, ball joint, wheel bearing, axel nut, all check out?

 

yea definitely not a tie rod or ball joint.. i think it is the wheel bearing.. and i dont think the nut is loose cause it only pivots on that one point. it doesnt move in and out. im gonna order a hub assembly from vrsf maybe tonight and replace it this weekend i hope

 

I like the AV

 

if it has an inch of play I woulnt drive the thing anywhere. A wasted wheel bearing usually will have a growling noise that changes with weight and speed. Even if your hub nut is loose the bearing will need to be replaced at this point. My left front has a hint of play, my shop quoted 250 to pull the hub, press in a new bearing reinstall and re allign.

 

yea i just got one tonight.. 160 shipped from vrsf. ill probably put it in this weekend if it comes in time. I need to get a 4 wheel alignment anyway cause i just got new tires and wheels so it should work out perfect i hope lol

 

the axle nut tq spec is 123lbs/ft, the rotors movement is normal, we have floating rotors type. GL pressing the bearing, thats a PITA.

 

The hub assembly is a simple replacement, good luck! Hope it solves your issue

 

yea seems easy enough.. ill let u know what the outcome is lol

 

There's no such thing as pressing in the wheel bearings. You gotta buy the whole hub assembly. Easy fix.

 

does anyone know the actual torque spec on the 4 bolts in the back and big locking nut?? Thanks guys, lmk

 

So been havin a loud clunking noise in the front passenger side just had wheel bearing replaced on that side and the clunking is random could go a whole day driving without hearing it and some days will be so bad the clunking that is. Also today went outside and WITHOUT the car jacked up there is play in that tire a little via up and down motion NOT left to right please if u know what this could be let me know asap thanks greatly appreciate it. Oh and the clunking does not happen when turning or accelerating.
