i have some wheel play.. help
with the car jacked up , you can push on the wheel and sort of move it back and forth.. on the ground it seems to shake the whole axle, but they donot move in syncronization... possible my bearings are shot? maybe my axle? any ideas, or suggestions.
any help would be more than appreciated.

Sounds like your bearing
not a master machanic, but I have had this problem, not to hard to resolve, I would imagine that it wouldbe your wheel bearing, Just remove the tire, remove hub cover, if you still have it, romove cotta pin and diassemble there are three parts you should replace while you are there, front, and rear bearings,and the front wheel oil seal, Do both sides cause just like life, once you fix one side the other will go. hope that helps
