    Hey everyone,

    Been a long while....I have a wheel bearing question . The trucks been handling poorly at high way speeds. I took the rear axles out during brake replacements to check the wheel bearings. There's not much if any bearing movement with wheels on (that I notice) and I don't hear much over the abs ring clicks when spinning the wheels. I get a slight rumble noise when I spin the brake shield with the axle out. There is movement like this video on both axles, can anyone tell me if this is normal movement? Seems unlikely they would both be bad but shouldn't a load bearing bearing (had to) be fixed with no movement? Thanks for any help
