If I push my front tire top - bottom in opposite directions - grab top with one hand
and botoom with another - - when suspended on jackstands - there is a small play. The opposite wheel does not have any play. It feels like somewhere in the hub area. Anlikely lower balljoint - it is solid and boot is intact. Is it acceptable? No effect on driving as I can tell. Thanks! |

Most likely your bearing is bad, and possibly the hub too. This happened to me shortly after I replaced an axle on the driver's side.
And you will definitely want to fix the problem and not just drive on it. It will only get worse. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Check to see if you the axel nut is tight, i had mine get loose because of a pin that was to short. |

your axel nut also comes loose when your bearings are bad, a lot of times to codder (sp) pin will strip that cap as well, few signs... there is normally a little little play in it, but i mean little. if you hear any grinding while driving then its definately the bearing and potentially the hub as well.
