Front passenger wheel moves back and forth when I pullor push on it. Not sure what this could be? And the steering arm that's attached moves with it. Could it be a ball joint or is the steering rack bad? Its on a 2000 civic ex..

 

Does this cause an issue while your driving? Wheel vibration, shaking, pulling, or some other bad feeling?

Does the one wheel move independently of the other wheel?

 

check lower and upper ball joints! Inspect all bushings! on arms

 

or check your lug nuts! haha

 

My lugs are tight..LOL. I can grab bother sides of my wheel and pull it back and fourth. Took my wheel off everything looked fine can just move the hub assembly back and fourth not really any movement up and down. Driver side is tight no movement.

 

probably a bad wheel bearing than.

 

OK thanks ill check that? Is that a fairly easy fix? Do I need to do any thing special to do the replacement?

 

There a pain in the *** to be honest. best bet is take off the whole fork with hub and have a shop press the bearing out and new one in. whould be cheap since all the labor is done by you and there just pressing bearings out and in.

 

well if it a wheel bearing problem and it does sound like it, just take the whole spindle off and get yourself a use one from the junk yard, their not that expansive if it just the spindle itself, i remember paying 40 for one side of a gsr spindle but just the spindle alone no abs wire caliber or rotor which i utilize all mine so i wouldn't have to bleed my brake. taking off the spindle is pretty straight foward if you know what your doing took me 30 min to replace mine.

You said the steering arm moves with it. If you have a friend, have them move it back and forth and see whats not tight. if you see the axle move independent of the steering knuckle, then it's a bearing/hub.
