hi there just need abit of advice well basically my dads disco failed MOT on drivers side front wheel bearing play.So he fit new wheel bearing and there is still loads of play there when nut is fully tight? Is it the shaft which the hub goes onto thats worn? :confused:
cheers john
 
yeah i got one but when the nut is locked up fully tight there is lots of play so surely slackening it off will make it worse?
 
its an old one 200tdi with two nuts.Well its got new wheel bearing so its got to be somehing else maybe swivel bearings but the play is like the wheel is loose would this be right if the swivel bearings worn?
cheers john
 
the first nut is fully tight and plenty play so its still on stands and not adjusted cos the play is still there.Can swivel bearings be re adjusted or complete unit (just in middle of finding where the manual has been hidden)
cheers john
 
There should be shims under the top Swivel pin that can be removed to tighten things up, but make sure you can still turn the wheel from lock to lock.:)
 
thanks for advice turned out to be the lower bearing there was nothing left of it but now i changed both bearings and filled with grease and the play has gone
thanks for your help
