my front passenger wheel has play in it. my mot was a month ago, and during that month i've had a new set of coilovers, driveshaft, and 2 wheel bearings.
the wheel play is at 12 and 6. when i shake the wheel, i can only see a slight (but not large amount) of movement on the outer cv joint, could this be the cause?
the driveshaft has no rotational play. and the wheel bearing does not make any sort of noise when driving.

mine was doing the same and it turned out to be steering rack ends and track rod ends :smiley:
-
rack end and track rods would give 9 and 3 play surely :undecided:
and they seemed pretty stiff to me.

dont know mate as i said mine was doing it mot inspector found it whilst doing mot changed the bits he said and sorted the problem may not be the case for yours im just saying thats what i did :smiley:
failing that could it be your bearing has gone again :undecided:
-
ok thanks :smiley:
just want someone to convince me it's not the bearing. sick of changing it now :cry:
-
np mate hope you get it sorted :wink:

Wishbone ball joint

as above.. balljoint or top mount id say mate! get somone to move the wheel so it has play then feel the balljoint and see if you can feel it, then do the same on the rack end
