Slop on front shaft?
I've had a wobble I've been chasing for a while now.
1996 4WD So after checking the obvious, alignment, brakes, tires etc....I went to the wheel bearings. While changing out my brake pads today, went from organic to ceramic, I decided to re-snug my front left bearing where the wobble is coming from. Pads only had 7k on them maybe... After removing the C-clip and the hub switch I saw that the front axle had about 1/16" play in it....is that because I had it all loose? The entire half-shaft felt loose in there. So I built a spanner wrench and did the tighten, loosen, re-snug thing on it... Not as noticeable after re-tightening bearings down but there's still a little there. It was *almost* gone at 40mph after this so not sure if my Chinese rotors did it or the brake pads...

My pathfinder had a little axle shaft wiggle. It wasnt much, but it does wiggle a little.
