Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I changed the tie rod recently. And while there I felt a slight play if I push/pull on the top of the wheel. If I push/pull from the bottom I don�t get any play at all. There is 0 play from side to side. Just wondering if it�s actually a wheel bearing or something else. Wanted to get a second opinion before I go and buy a whole wheel bearing kit

POST 2Original post

If in doubt change both sides. If they r bad they can snap the retainer stub or axle shaft. Once that happens the only thing holding the wheel on is the brake caliper. The bearings r only $40 from fcpeuro but the labor can be a few hours. If u have access to a press and some basic tools it can be done in your driveway.

POST 3Original post

Mine made a noise when I spun the front wheel. Sort of a rumble. I would think this is the more likely symptom of a bad bearing than "play".

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
