Reply With QuoteNo play in the new ones now fitted to mine and they're quiet too! The right one was considerably worse than the left - I expected the opposite.
Gday All,
Was checking the brake pads today and whilst I had each wheel off the ground I checked for play in each wheel by grabbing the top and bottom of the tyre and wiggling it.
The front passenger side had more play than what I would have expected.
Both rear wheel had a very small amount.
The front drivers side had 0 not even the smallest amount.
I have done the front lower arms a few years back, so I plan on checking the torque on the front passenger side main hub nut to see if I haven't tensioned it properly.
So my question is are they meant to have any play at all ?
I assume that you have to buy the hub assembly or are the bearings able to purchased.
Thanks and Cheers Ean

I wonder if lowering to accses height once parked causes alot of these suspension/wheel bearing issues(no pointing fingers at you Ean).I have been trying to hit lower on mine whilst still moving.Its a fair amount of stress on these components once parked/in park/handbrake on.
Just a thought.

Gday Andrew,
Ours always stays in normal height mode, would be lucky to be in access height 5 times since we have had the car.
I am wondering if I never tensioned it up correctly when I did the lower arms.

I use mine all the time.Makes it easier for Deb to get in and out,plus its easier on the seat wear and tare not sliding in and out.

Ean, as Rich says, fronts are entire hub assembly but looks like the rears are able to have the bearings repalaced:
Front: LR014147 Hub Assembly
Rear: LR021939 Bearing kit
A good vid on replacing the front:

Thanks All,
So like always just had a quick look on ebay and there is a price range from $120 - $350 so looks like I will have some reading to do. Will do both as cant see the point in doing 1 and not the other.
I see there seems to be a bearing kit and complete hub available for the rears.
Cheers Ean

SubscriberI'll agree use access all the time makes it much easier just a habit pull up and hit access! Just makes it easier plus if I don't catches you out that but higher haha

Me too with my wife. I now just automatically put it into access height and if I think about it do it as I cross over the footpath from the road so half and half stationary or moving. No trouble so far after 17 months. I did read on a previous thread that it will wear out the compressor etc but figure I'd rather that happen under warranty hopefully. Then again I've always believed in Murphy's Law.
