I replaced both the swivel seals not long back which are working fine......

I am now getting quite alot of movement in the housing when I wabble the wheel (holding it at the top and bottom) Wheel jacked up.

Does this sound like i need to replace the bottom swivel bearing?

It didnt have this movement in it before i did the seals (I think)
Can i get rid of the play by taking some of the top shims out??

My hub bearing is properly adjusted as thats what i thought it first was (tightened the 52mm nuts up today)

Cheers, Scott
 
You gone and bust it again Scott lol , as BOB said take some shims out and go from there ( if you didnt already know , put a bottle jack or trolly jack under the hub and support it before you undo the top pin , I forgot once and it dumped out all its oil LOL :D . ) .

LOL no mate, just been going through everything so its ready for MOT really..... I dont want to end up needing loadsa stuff if he fails it and ends up charging me to fix it ha ha!

Last time i took the car it failed and he said if i took it out of his garage i would have to pay for a re test!!! Not falling for that old chestnut again ;)

Ps cheers for the tip fella
