Sad times

thankyou mike perry. yes i checked that and there fine, i did the drivers side today, they wasnt as bad as the near side, and the NEW bearing had a little play in it but i done the castle nut up quite tight and it was ok. i did notice that the bearing spacer was diffrent from the other side, but mea...
