Re: Loose Wheel Hub?

FYI, I had a somewhat loose hub from 40 k miles, and I just replaced it a few weeks ago at 130k miles. It may have even had the extra free-play very early on. I just kept monitoring it, and it really never got any worse. The reason why I replace it, was because I didn't want some idiot mechanic to fail my New York State inspection because of it. For the past 3 or 4 years, they kinda warned me, but let me slide.
Also, there's a procedure to replace it in this forum, and the 3 hub bolts can be VERY DIFFICULT to remove. It was a pain in the butt job for me. Make sure you soak them with some lube for a while, first.
