Morris Minor Owners Club

Had an advisory last year, play in o/s front wheel bearing so, as there was also a little play in the n/s, I got two sets. Now the o/s is fine with the new bearing, no play at all but the n/s is the same, slight play, not enough to fail MOT.
They are all fitted correctly, never had a problem before. Is this possibly to do with tolerences in the manufacture of the hub and spacer perhaps? Bearings came from Bull Motif. Anyone else experience something similar?

Probably down to wear in the hub. Is there any movement horizontally (ie in and out) - or do you just detect it when you wiggle the wheel?

Swap the hubs over and see which side has play

Good idea, hadn't thought of that, job for Wednesday.

Thanks, will try that.
