Really bad play in hub! Help
When I push on the top and back of my rear passanger tire it has alot of play (like 1/4 to 1/2 inch) my spindle nut is tight, but not sure if it would be my wheel bearing or the axle bearing. If it is the wheel bearing, there is no way to change this with out a hydralic press is there?
Thanks

It is the wheel bearing, mine had the same problem a few months ago. I took off the hub and took it to my Mazda dealer to get the bearing replaced. It was like $80. Ouch! I really don't think it can be done yourself unless you have access to a machine shop.

D@mn it, I just bought the Mazda rear bearing hub for $80/ea since I though no aftermarket places sold them separately.
What about the Series V plastic "dob bone" style end links, subframe links, and body links, those cost a fortune as well? Nobdoy sells them either.
