hi guys
bought willy 3 yesterday
had 17's on it but came with originals. knew there was problem with drivers side front wheel brakes or bearing. there was a whining and very slight vibration from it, in straight line the noise and vibration was there and turning right there too. but when turning left ever so slightly the noise was gone and car was smooth as silk? when i swapped wheel over just now there was no movement in bearing(up down) but was very slight movement (left to right) also gave caliper a good shake and felt a little play in this too. could the bearing have gone yet have no play in it?
on my old nova if wheel bearing went you could feel play in wheel when jacked up. any help/info would be great
