It does not seem to matter what position either R or L wheels/bearings are
in ,the only play I consider a concern is the play I feel lifting either
wheel up with a bar. I can only hazzard a guess and say they move up from
a
settled down position an 1/8" . When I drive it and make a turn where one
wheel is going down in a dip while the other wheel it moving up like a
drive
way I don't hear a clunk .
I can't make sense of this play. Any thought's would help .
My personal thought is that you're worrying about nothing. If it'll make
you feel better, I'd clean, inspect, and repack both rear bearings on both
sides, and see if that eliminates the play you're feeling. If it does, then
you've found your culprit. If it doesn't, then you've greased them, and they
should be good to go until long after you've kicked the bucket
(150K+miles). Meaning what you might be feeling is actually normal wear of the
bearings.
