Hi guys - had the '74 AZ on a lift today and I have play in both sides front wheel bearings. I know the bearings are cheap but does play mean they are typically in need of replacement or do they just work loose over time on 914s?
Thanks! |

If you cannot adjust the play out no matter how much you tighten the outer nut it is very possible your spindle is worn. Look where the outer bearing race sits on the spindle. Yes, you have to remove the rotor to see this. Most likely it will be at the 6 o'clock position. If you can feel a step from where the race sits moving inward on the spindle with your fingernail or see it it's worn. Idk if there is a spec for it or not.
