UPDATED: Rear Wheel Bearing Play (69 bay window)
Posted: Wed May 17, 2006 1:33 pm
Ok guys, my 69 beater bay window may need rear wheel bearings, but I'm not sure.
When doing the "do I need wheel bearings test" (the wiggling the wheel laterally and horizontally) I'm not sure what the conclusion is.
When grasping the tire from the sides (left and right) there is no play, but when grasping from the top and bottom, there is about 1/16 - 1/8 of an inch of rock....
Now I know on modern cars, any play = replace, but I know this could be different since I know in the case of the fronts there is supposed to be alittle.
Any ideas?
