___front end knocking?? axles? hub? wheel bearing?
i have a h22 teg and i've been hearing some sort of knocking sound in the front of the car all week long. it's most apparent (sound wise) in 3rd gear, low rpms, but i can feel it in all the lower gears.
i finally had some time to check it out today, and after about an hr of looking and checking everything, i found out that the driver side rotor had some play.. soo i did a search and found out that it might be the wheel bearing, (i put the wheel back on and shook it sideways and had play, also checked vertically and there was no play) the whole wheel only had about 1cm of movement sideways. just wanted to make sure that was the problem before i spend money on a new wheel bearing
TIA
PLS lmk if its anything else, or what to check for that could be the problem! THANKS

Bad wheel bearings would create play both sideways and up-and-down consistently. Your sideways play sounds more like the steering, axle, or the suspension. Maybe a broken bushing(s). 1 cm is a lot.
