had a little question about my hubs/lugs/rotors being wiggly. i was hoping you guys could take a look and tell me if my setup is alright. i've been getting a lot of suspension noise lately and i'm trying to track it down

edit: 02 wrx,

If the hub itself is loose, it looks like it may be a bad ball joint or tie rod end. Take a peak behind there and see what is moving where it shouldn't.

everything out back looked very tight. no wiggles. the only thing moving out back was the axle

Then that would be an extremely bad wheel bearing.

it hasnt made any noise like a bad wheel bearing. ive had a couple bearings go and they were both pretty loud.

Stop doing burnouts up my road and that won't happen...

Hmmm. Well something is very wrong on there!

mucho bad bearing

I had two wheel bearings that didnt make any noise and then the whole wheel had an inch of play.  Put your wheel on and try and move it up and down and side to side. It shouldnt move at all.  

Looks like the same problem I had  I went through two wheel bearings in two years

turns out it was an extremely loose axle nut.

Is that bearing any good now.

 

[skipow]

only time will tell. after i tightened it up, i took it for a spin- no squeaks anymore, no humming like a bad bearing and no play in the wheel whatsoever.
