Re: Wheel bearing question

Usually you can check wheel bearings by jacking up the car, enough to raise the tire in question in the air. Put your hands at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock and try and move the tire back and forth. If there is play then you may have a loose axle nut or bad wheel bearings. If you put hands at 3 and 9 then you may have worn steering components....I know this is basic but hope it helps!
