Thank you! Everyone else there IS meant to be play, just a tiny amount, if theres no play it would mean the wheel wouldnt turn! Read haynes or ask any person thats actually touched a rear bearing! Yes the fronts are solid, but the rears HAVE to have a small amount of play in

PeterRST i have nipped the bearing up slightly (to the correct torque) and its still doing it. If the suspension turret bush(the big old thing) was worn do you reckon this could cause it? Its the only bush i havent uprated
