Checking wheel bearing play

Raise the front of the car.

Strongly pull the upper side of the wheel outward with one hand while pressing the lower side of the wheel inward with the other hand. After that, press the upper side of the wheel inward, and pull the lower side outward. If at the same time wheel dangling is noticeable, the front wheel bearing has increased play. Repeat this process several times. There should be no noticeable play.

Carry out a test on another wheel, if necessary, replace the damaged bearing.

Lower the car.
