So I got a 92 civic DX and I have wheel play in every direction by about 1 inch. But I don't think it's my wheel bearing. I think it has something to do with my brake caliper because it only moves the same amount that the brake caliper moves (Brake caliper moves in 2 different directions I don't know why). Here's a picture of the brake caliper where it looks as if it is split but front all the pictures I found online it's like that factory?? Basically I can grab the wheel and move it with my hand and the brake caliper bends. If I turn the wheel to the right with my hand (Like wheel bearing type movement) The bottom part of brake caliper moves the opposite direction of the top of the caliper and I can't move it anymore than the brake caliper serperates. Only thing connecting the top piece and middle piece is the back bracket? It seems I have wheel movement from the brake caliper being weak? What is wrong here?

The brake caliper is mounted to a bracket, that's mounted to the knuckle which are independant of the wheel bearing and rotor rotation/motion.

Do you have something besides a potato to take pictures with?

the caliper has nothing to do with play in the wheel.

Calipers don't hold hubs in place. Your wheel bearing is probably worn.

You have a floating caliper. It isn't ridigdly mounted like a fixed caliper.

Just got back from TX2K14, All the parts I ordered before I left is here, Got new Koyo front wheel bearings, Raybesto 99-00 Si new e-brake cables, Powerslot drilled/slotted rotors (have them on front and work great), Powerslot evolution brake pads, Mishimoto blue lug nuts, ARP extended wheel studs, Energy suspension rear trailing arm bushings, I was going to get the rear trailing arms off a friends integra he was parting out but he happened to get a buyer on the whole car, Now i'm trying to find integra disc rear trailing arms, Depending on their bearings i'll buy new rear hubs/bearings as well for it. Car should be ready to hit curves again shortly. Thanks for the help the wheel bearings are just terrible. Good time to take off the coilovers and suspension, Get front spindles/rear trailing arms powder coated black, Clean up my coilovers etc.
