Play in front wheel..

[bryno]

When I bought my T5 last year had a bit of play in the front wheel bearing, replaced both hub bearings, all seemed fine. Few months later I had play again, so I added an aditional bearing, again ok for a while. Got play in there again so replaced the bearings again today, but I've still got play..

I'm sure it's on the hub as I can feel it move whilst the backplate stays fixed, so my Q is, should you be able to feel a bit of play anyway?

If not, then I guess I have a worn fork arm, which looks a bit more serious

hi

the same story for me too..
i replaced the front wheel bearings (vespa px200e , 2001), and it did cancel the free play but only for a short while ...

It may be normal to have a bit of movement, I've just got nothing to measure it against, need to get into a dealer and wobble a few front wheels ;D

MOT due in May, I'll see what happens then..
