Default Wheel move when tugged

I tugged on driver side wheel and I can hear it click somewhere, even moved a little (about 10-15mm tugging on the 12 o clock of the wheel). The thing is I dont know what it is or the seriousness of it. The lug nuts are tight and everything is torqued down. Only problem is that I have a broken rear motor mount, and the bolt holding it the mount is only half way in. Does anyone have any experience with this or perhaps help me to identify the problem?

Much thanks

take the wheel off and tug on the hub, see if you can tell.

It could be some loose suspension bolt, but chances are, it's your wheel bearing.

Safe to drive? Safe to autox?

BTW I recently loosen my axle, could it be that I did not properly reset the axle? Could that cause the wheel movement?

your wheel bearing might not be torque down properly.

you most likely won't pass tech inspection at an autox with a wheel like that. you can drive on it, but I wouldn't...at least not for long.

Upper ball joint is worn, possibly, from your description.

It is nice sometimes when it is just something easy to fix.
