driver side wheel play when jacked up...
i was replacing my ball joint boot on my 92 civic dx today. i was also checking to see what else needed replacing. i recently replace my steering rack with one from a 94 integra with 113k miles because my old one needed a full rebuild and it was recommended i just replace it. everything is good with that except i might need to replace the outer tie rods soon since one got a pinhole in the boot and the drivers side one is a little more loose than the pass side.
anyways, when i grab the wheel at 8 o clock and 3 o clock and shake it side to side, there seems to be a lot of play. it's not coming from the tie rod. it's coming from the actual hub. now, i was thinking wheel bearing, but wouldn't that be loud when i drive? i just did a 300mi round trip at 80-90mph and it was smooth as hell. when i replaced my ball joints, i had to remove the dust cover for the bearing , but i know i put it back on right. could it be the cv joint?

I recently had the same issue, mine didn't make a lot of noise, but it did ding when I'd hit any kind of bump. At first it was hardly noticable, but it got louder and louder untill I had it replaced. No more noise, no more play

Could be, mine didn't make noise at first. It eventually started to and got louder and louder.

i have the same problem, i grabbed the wheel the other day (while jacked up), and i had some play too. it does seem to be from the hub. looked around as i was shaking it to see if it was my ball joints, but they seem fine. i was guessing to if it was the axles.
mine makes almost like a choppy noise (like a helicpoter in the distance). especially where the road bends.

i just replaced my lower ball joints, so i know it's not that. im just wondering if a bad cv joint would cause this. im replacing my tranny soon , so i could just get new ones when i do that.
