Default Wheel Bearing Slop???
I just installed new Wilwood brakes, rotors, bearings etc> and when I tug on my wheels I feel a slight amount of slop. I have tried to tightened up the spindel nut. If I turn it tight enough where the perceived slop is gone in the wheel won't turn. My Wilwoods came with new in the box Timkin bearings and they were properly packed before installation. Any ideas? I am leaving for Road America Wednesday morning. I have orderded an extra set of bearing to be picked up tonight but these bearing are new and shouldn't have any play in them when installed.
