A year ago I replaced drivers front hub assembly with timken bearings because I had a bad wheel bearing. I have noticed vibrations at 65 and shaking when braking. However, there is no noise when turning. So I jacked up the drivers side and grabbed the wheel at 9 & 3. There is lots of play. No play at 12 and 6. I grabbed the axle and there is a little play in it. So I decided to jack up the passengers side. Same issue. Play at 9 & 3 and no play at 12 & 6. There is a little play in the axle but not as much as on the drivers side.
It it likely that I have bad wheel bearings on both the drivers and passengers front hubs? Or is there some other condition that could cause similar symptoms as bad wheel bearings? I don't want to run out purchase 2 fron hub assemblies and not have it solve the problem.
Thanks for the tips.
