    side to side wheel play.

    i recently had my rotors check at school and found out that there worp. so worp that they can't be turned. i plan to get new aftermarket rotors all around soon, but while i was checking them i found i had just a little side to side movement on the passenger side front. its not much but its there. my ball joints are all in good condition. i hoping tie rods not wheel bearings. can anyone help me out.

    to be absolutely sure you need to use a rotor runout gauge. that will eliminate any possibility of a wheel bearing.

      I think it's the wheel bearing. You need to remove the bearing to replace the rotors. So if you there already just replace it

        If it's the wheel bearing you should hear a roar/grinding noise when you drive. Also try long slow turns both ways. When mine went it made noise when I turned left and sometimes straight. I never had any play though.

          Grab the wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock positions and push/pull...........is there movement?

          Yes. = bad wheel bearing
          No. = continue checking (see below)


          Grab the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock positions and push/pull VERY lightly. If you can't do this without moving the rack then have a friend hold the steering wheel one direction at steering lock and try again. If you get even a tiny bit of movement then you have a bad tierod.

            It's sad that we needed 5 posts to arrive at the most probable conclusion.

            Follow 19dabeast85's instructions, and we'll go from there. Side to side motion has nothing to do with rotors (and the word is "warped"... "worp" is not even a word.) However, if your rotors are warped, you will want to replace them as well. Wheel bearings are a smart thing to replace at the same time anyway.

              if you got the rotor hot enough, it couldve baked the wheel bearing grease...

                That's true. Though the warped rotors would be the cause of the bearing failure in that case.

                  there isn't any roaring noise or grinding sound, i know how a bad bearing sounds. thats why i couldn't tell what was causing the problem. if the rotors did cause the grease in the bearing to bake wouldn't there be up and down wiggle.theres no 12 n 6 movement so i'm going to try to check the tie rod end on the lift at my school.

                    No 12 and 6 movement, then the tie rods are most likely the case.
