    Hey Tw need your help with my rr wheel bearing. I put a new one yesturday this is my 3rd bearing no an less them a year . I did notice the wheel as lots of play went it turns like not a circle turn but like my lug nuts are loose but there not . I dont know what to do now should i just go to the dealership and get robbed? Or fight to get it right?

    When you install the bearing in the backing plate, it will still have visible play. How much play is there when it is installed on the truck? There will be some in-out play, but very little up-down or left-right.

    the wheel flange appears to run flat and straight when turning? Does the outer bearing race appear to fit snug in the housing?

    The flange is the actual surface the wheel bolts to.

    Hey man, a solution might be to just get a whole junkyard axle since it seems you have problems with your locker too as you said in the other thread. Might save you money and headache...

    The wheel bearing presses into the backing plate tight? Everything else presses on tight?
