Just installed a new OEM wheel bearing last Saturday. Was going to get an alignment today and found the same wheel bearing has play.

Anyone else seen this before? I believe it's rather odd and just want to make sure that there are no other complications that could be causing my problem with wheel bearings. Everything is stock and in great condition, ie: upper and lower ball joints, etc.

I'm definitely not a novice mechanic, I worked in the field for 7 years. But I'm still going to let Honda install the next bearing, just to make sure I'm not doing something wrong...

 

Did you reuse your old hub? If so, did you measure the outer diameter to see whether it's within limit.

You knuckle could be bad as well.

 

I did reuse the old hub, I'll make sure I measure it this time.

 

New wheel bearing was installed yesterday, tech already had the bearing installed in the hub before I knew it. It doesn't have any more play!

I compared the bearings before he pushed the old out and didn't see any imperfections.. Must have been a bad part
