New Wheel Bearing Play itr 5 lug
Hey HT
Vehicle: 92 eg civic itr 5 lug conversion. So the quick story i replaced the front wheel bearings, and upon inspection i noticed that the two front wheel hubs were bad. i ordered brand new oem wheel hubs and 2 new national bearings from advance auto. pressed on the wheel bearings and the hub and i noticed i still have a little play as it sits in the knuckle. i have yet to install the knuckle assembly onto the vehicle yet due to the play. is this normal? will the play go away once i tighten the axle nut after full assembly? thanks in advance |

if you have the axle available, you can just tighten it to check.
the two inner races of the bearing are captured by the axle. otherwise it can come loose. |

well i crawled out of bed and grabbed an old hasport axle i had lying around. tighter it up and sure enough it worked great(knuckle still removed from civic). it seems like it will work. I'm going to re-install it tomorrow or maybe sunday and ill give you all a final updated and post test drive. thanks again

just to give an update. upon further inspection i noticed that my upper ball joints had some play in them. so i got really mad and did what any pi$$ed off @sshole would do and ordered new ball joints top bottom, rear wheel bearings, every bushing i could orderer the entire vehicle, inner/outer tie rods, so after thats done ill give a final update. thanks again

You do realize 1992 was 25 years ago.... If it was the first time replacing any of those parts I'd be surprised.
