rear wheel bearings

Post by dink »

t3 rear wheel bearings, how much free play should there be
holding the castle nut in the center i can get / feel more free play than i remember on other cars, when checked in the normal way
there is a grumbling noise from the rear
i've bought new bearings, now that i've dismantled one side it doesn't seem worn out, i've seen dead bearings on the past, but these look OK
the castle nut was very very tight as it should be, as i thought that could have been the problem

It should have no top too bottom or side too side play, they all have slight end float.
