There really shouldnt be any play, its a clamp fit with the bushing
in the moddle so make sure that nut is torqued to where it should be, if its
been loose, there may be things worn in there that need to be replaced
if they have been chocking around but Id try tightening the nut first and
see how it feels.

HI all :
I noticed the other day when I had the right rear jacked up that I could
grab the tire front and rear and rock it about 1/8" at the tires edge and
if
I grabbed the tire top and bottom it moved the same amount. There is no
in/ out movement . The play feels much like a loose front wheel bearing .
Driving it I never hear any noise like a rough bearing . The outer is a
roller
and inner is a ball bearing.
I did notice the right side has a new cotter pin so at some point before I
got this car someone was in there for reason unknown.
Can anyone tell me if this play is normal and if not what do I need to do
hear > I looked in the Haynes manual and it shows this work done with the
rear control arm on the car and no special tools other than a pipe to drive
the roller bearing on the shaft.
Has anyone done this that could help with what I might need?
William
I assume there should be no play is this correct? I could not find any
info as to play in the Bentley just repacking the bearings .
Keith would probably be the best one to answer this. I know he's repacked
his at least once.
