I picked up a set of sir knuckles and the bearings are nice and smooth, but have play. At first I though they were shot, but now that I think about it, does the axle preload the bearing, like in the rear? so if the axle was on, it would be tight? I don't really have the time to put parts on and off to check this theory myself and if I can avoid the 150 for bearings that would be good. Thanks.

there should not be any play, I just did my bearing they were close to $50 each from honda with a shop discount, Im sure you can find them online for a similar price, just do them and new ball joints while they are off the car

 

Yeah thats what I thought, thanks man.
