Should I replace the wheel bearings? Tiny bit of play..
Have my civic in pieces right now because I am replacing a ton of things.
After I got my hub assembly off, I noticed a tiny bit of wiggle room from the wheel bearings.
Should I replace them now, or no? The car is a 93 with 160k on the shell.
Will I regret not replacing them?

Any play is bad...can warp your rotors too. Just replace it while you have it apart if you can afford it.

Front wheel bearings are expensive and have to be pressed out/in. If it were me, I wouldn't want to replace them unless they were bad.
Plus removing/installing a steering knuckle on a Civic is easy.
