Wobbly wheel

Recommended Posts

im not at work today due 2 the fact my car only has 3 wheels :cry: I was trying 2 replace the 2 wheel bearings, front and back, and have buggered the rear caliper up, but the problem is with the front, i thought the wheel bearing had gone, but the play seems 2 be in the suspension, from the top and bottom of the wheel, you ans move it about 5-10 mm, when the car is jacked up, but no movement sideways, so i have brought a wheel bearing for nothing! the top mount i think has gone, or is loose, but there only a year old, this normal???

Oh and any good ideas on how 2 get a piston back in on the rear caliper?? So i can go 2 work tomorrow! :(

it could be your bottom ball joint thats shagged

 

less than 10 quid for a lower ball joint, worth a try
