Hi! yesterday, as I was changing my tires, I noticed that once the car is jacked, I can grab the front passenger wheel from side to side and there is a little play when I apply some pressure. there is no play when grabbing the wheel top and bottom. I've checked my driver side front wheel and everything is good, nothing moves.

what can cause this? bearing? tie rod?

Everything is normal when I drive but I guess that the wheel is wobbling a little?

Thanks

 

It's probably a wheel bearing.

 

exactly what I was thinking but I don't have that "wobbling" sound while turning the stearing

 

I'd guess tie rod ends. If it was the bearing wouldn't it be loose in all planes?

 

Is there a way to test if it's my tie rod end?

 

Put the car on an alignment rack. Or, I suppose you could have your hand on the rod end while someone else shakes the wheel, and see if you can feel the source of the free play. Do you see any unusual wear on the front tires?

 

Wheel bearing....toe rod just grap it and pull it or with pillers. If u have doubts just pull the other side side if it reacts the same. If not then it ur wheeling bearing.....
