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.
