Finally putting the rear suspension back together and have noticed some play in both hubs. Not in and out, but more like rocking back and forth, side to side. Before I go any further, is this normal and will it go away when the axle hub is torqued down? BTW, these are new bearing, and seem to be seated all the way with the retainers installed. Any insight will be greatly appreciated

ALL bearings are NOT created equal. Did write up years ago. Bearing use to only come in one quality, EXCELLENT. Now it seems there are good, better and best. I try and use only SKF made in Spain and Italy. I only use FAG 545495AD made in Canada and Germany. Most of these bearings are from the late 1990's.
