Sideways movement in front wheels

Post by mearnsy »

When replacing my anti roll bar rubbers and putting the wheels back on i noticed some sideways movement, say 1/8th of an inch.

Can anyone tell me what this is, how to fix and if serious.

MOT due next week :cry:

When you say sideways, does it have movement whne you grab the wheel top and bottom and rock it? If so it`s the front wheeel bearing need adjustment, not a big deal to do.
Keep it real.
