I was changing my breaks the other day and when i went to put the wheel back on i noticed that the wheel was able to move from left to right like if when you havent put on the lug nuts yet... any idea of what it may be??

 

it happened to my EG and it turned out the outer tie rod end bushing shot..so check your tie rod..ball joint (if there is any leaking) and tight your axle that connects to wheel hub

 

i tried tightening the bolt that connects to the axel but it was already tight.. i'll check the joints tomorrow...

 

Isnt this one of the ways to check for bad wheel barrings?? Im not sure myself thats why I ask...

 

so what is the easiest way to fix a tie-rod if that is the problem because i think i may have the same issue

 

if you have the wheel on and torqued down and you move the wheel left to right and its loose, then its a tie rod. move it top to bottom and its loose then its wheel bearing

Not correct. If the wheel moves up and down its a ball joint. A bad wheel bearing will howl when you drive, and you can pull the wheel in and out a little if its really gone, but you'll definately hear it at that point.

 

ill post a video cause i could move it all ways around but its weird cause the axel, wheel and rotor move but not the caliper...
