    got in my oem wheel bearing today. The inner race feels moveable instead of one solid bearing. It looks new so I was wondering if that's normal?

    Front or rear? The inner race moves when not installed, on a rear bearing it is pressed onto the axle which holds it into place with great force.

    It's fine im sure.

    It's a front wheel bearing. That makes me feel better about it. Little concerned when I could feel slight movement in the inner part when I took it out of the box. Thank you!
